What is MCAW?

MCAW brings patients, clinicians, researchers and advocacy organisations together for a week of education, honest conversation and shared experience — challenging stigma and improving understanding of prescribed cannabis-based medicines across the UK.

It's a campaign, not just a website: panels, patient stories, workshops and Q&As running throughout the week, with space for every part of the community to take part.
