Releaf Group Announces International College of Cannabinoid Medicine (ICCM) Workshop Series for Australia and the UK with Keynote Speaker Andrew Swindells: Author and Legal Counsel

Releaf Group Ltd, in conjunction with their wholly-owned subsidiary, the International College of Cannabinoid Medicine (ICCM), is proud to announce a new workshop series designed to empower Doctors, Pharmacists, and healthcare professionals with comprehensive knowledge about prescribing and dosing medicinal cannabis. These workshops also provide valuable insights into patient outcomes and professional career prospects.

 

ICCM Ltd, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Releaf Group Ltd, operates in both Australia and the United Kingdom and is at the forefront of global education on medicinal cannabis for healthcare practitioners.

 

ICCM, headquartered in London, United Kingdom, is an integral part of Releaf Group Ltd's suite of globally positioned companies, dedicated to a vertically integrated and third-party supply chain in medicinal cannabis. ICCM offers an extensive education workshop series featuring live demonstrations showcasing leading cannabis brands and an online education platform. The online platform features 30-40 minute videos presented by international experts in medicinal cannabis, covering the treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions. Each video is accompanied by a quiz and a certificate of completion, catering to the continuing professional development needs of healthcare practitioners.

The ICCM is supported by Adjunct Professor Sylvia Victor, PhD, a prominent Australian cannabis researcher and executive educator with a strong background in higher education and medicinal cannabis. With over 45 videos presented by experienced clinicians, academics, and researchers from around the world, including the US, Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Argentina, and Nepal, ICCM continuously expands its educational content.

 

Keynote Speaker: Andrew Swindells - Author and Legal Counsel

Andrew Swindells brings over 40 years of legal experience to the ICCM workshop series, including 15 years as a barrister and former Drug Law Enforcement Officer with the AFP. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences with a focus on Psychology, Sociology, and Australian Social History. Andrew's experiences as a legal consultant in Crimes Against Humanity in Sierra Leone prompted him to write the thought-provoking book, 'How to Deal Drugs and Get Away with It! A Reality Check on Drug Law Enforcement.'

During the workshop series, Andrew Swindells will discuss the legalisation processes of traditional plant medicines, including medicinal cannabis, within the Australian system. His presentation will address patient rights, the existing barriers to access, and open the floor for a discussion on the current state of affairs and the potential future developments, particularly within the context of human rights.
