At Clarion Hotel Sign

Stockholm Medical Cannabis Conference
Welcome to Sweden’s first cannabis conference, with a focus on raising awareness and knowledge about medical cannabis among healthcare providers.
The event will take place on May 27, 2022 at Clarion Hotel Sign, Norra Bantorget, Stockholm. The purpose of the conference is to inform and educate Swedish healthcare about medical cannabis.
”It is obvious that medical cannabis is here to stay in Sweden. It has good clinical effect for pain relief, and can often be an alternative to the widespread and careless prescription of opioids in Swedish healthcare. This is something we need to discuss much more, and it should happen today, not tomorrow!
All physicians, pharmacists, and healthcare providers in Sweden need to take responsibility for their own further education by acquiring the necessary knowledge, and get access to the educational material now available, for the good of their patients. We need to improve how we listen to patients in today’s Swedish healthcare,”
says Angelica Örnell, CEO and head of operations at the pain relief clinic Aureum Healthcare in Stockholm.
The conference is organized by the Swedish cannabis investment company Aureum Life AB, in collaboration with the Swedish news site Cannabis i
Fokus.
