Cannabis-based products: what are your views?

As of 1 November 2018, some cannabis products have been available for prescription. We know that many people with AS use cannabis-based products to help with pain relief but we would like to know a little bit more. This will help us with the draft scope guideline which has been released for consultation by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recently and also to help us understand your experiences specifically related to AS, especially as there has been such little research carried out in this area.



Please complete our online survey about your own experiences and also your thoughts on the scope guideline. (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/cannabis-based-medicine)



Read the NICE Scope (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ng10124



The guideline is in very early stages and at the moment it only talks about what areas it will and won’t cover rather than the actual content and recommendations. When the draft guideline is published in July 2019, we will come back to our supporters for their thoughts.



Thank you,

NASS Team
