I would welcome the change , if I have a long term relationship with the patient and the prescription is valid for a year, is it still neccessary to continue 6 monthly follow ups if the cannabis is helping and the dose does not change. In my view, compliant patient for whom the dose does not need to be adjusted, would one a yearly consultation not be appropriate ?
