The Higher School of Health Dr. Lopes Dias (ESALD) of the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco (IPCB), will hold a seminar dedicated to the theme: “Medicinal Applications of Cannabis”, on the 22nd of May, from 14 pm to 18 pm.

The objective of the event is to reinforce reflection among future health professionals, alerting them to the benefits and/or consequences of this practice, as well as to get to know the reality that exists, not only in Portugal but also in Europe.

The main speakers of this first edition of the Seminar will be Attila Köfalvi, a researcher at the Center for Neurosciences and Cell Biology of the University of Coimbra and who led a study where he concluded that cannabis can improve energy consumption by the deficient brain in Alzheimer's disease, João Costa, member of Cannativa — Association of Studies on Cannabis, and Ana Rita Andrade, Internal Physician of General and Family Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis patient. Ana Rita will share her experience as a doctor at a Health Center and also her personal treatment with cannabinoids.

Promotion of discussion and debate
The event aims to promote the debate and discussion of ideas about medical cannabis and arises in view of the possible legislative introduction that will regulate the use of cannabis for therapeutic purposes. In view of advances and therapeutic innovations, the organization considers it essential that professionals are alert and constantly updated, in order to be able to make their judgments and participate in the evolution of science in an informed way.

Aimed at students in the areas of health, this training will be certified by ESALD/IPCB and registration costs three euros.
