Evaluation of Interprofessional Relations Between Primary Care and Hospital Centers in the Experimentation of Medical Cannabis in France Carried Out by the ANSM (ECIPCanna)

An observational study to explore inter-professional relations and perceptions around the experimentation of medical cannabis, conducted by the French National Agency for Safety and Health. The study aims to identify the barriers and facilitators to prescribing and dispensing medical cannabis and to analyse healthcare professionals' perceptions of medical cannabis in France. Using a qualitative method based on semi-directed interviews and focus groups, the study will involve hospital physicians, general practitioners, and community and hospital pharmacists participating in the the French National Agency for Safety and Health experiment. The primary objective is to understand the dynamics between health professionals involved in the medical cannabis programme, while secondary objectives include proposing strategies to overcome barriers to the provision of medical cannabis.
