star this property answer text <p>Prior to the change of the law on 1 November 2018, only cannabis-based products that had been given a marketing authorisation (product licence) by the medicines regulators, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or European Medicines Agency could be prescribed. Before issuing a marketing authorisation the MHRA accesses all the available evidence on efficacy and safety arising out of pre-clinical research and clinical trials and evidence and information supplied by the manufacturer. The regulators also inspect the factory where the medicine is to be made, to make sure that supplies will be of a uniformly and consistently high standard.</p><p> </p><p>The following cannabis-based products and related products received a marketing authorisation in the United Kingdom/European Union before 1 November 2018:</p><p> </p><p>- Sativex - (produced by GW Pharmaceuticals) containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol - holds a licence for spasticity in multiple sclerosis; and</p><p>- Nabilone - (multiple manufacturers) which contains a synthetic, non-natural cannabinoid which mimics THC, holds a marketing authorisation for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Epidiolex (also produced by GW Pharmaceuticals from cannabis) for two severe forms of intractable epilepsy (Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome or Dravet Syndrome), is currently being considered for a marketing authorisation by the European Medicines Agency.</p><p> </p><p>The change in the law allows the prescription, by specialist doctors on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register, of cannabis-based products that have not been through this rigorous process but that meet certain quality standards in cases where all licensed products have been considered and discounted and it is in the best interest of the patient. It also makes</p><p>it easier and will incentivise further research into the potential health benefits of cannabis-based products and the development of further licensed products for more routine use in the health service.</p>

This data only became required from April 2018 as part of the Public Health England Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset therefore figures from before this date will be incomplete. A baseline survey of NHS trusts for January to March 2017 indicated that around 30% of blood cancer patients are offered an HNA. Since then, Cancer Alliances have been rolling out HNA along with other personalised care interventions, therefore it is expected that this figure will now be higher.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>When a person has a Holistic Needs Assessments (HNA) they are asked to identify any concerns from a checklist which will normally include emotional, relationship and spiritual concerns. People can of course, raise concerns at any time with their general practitioner or hospital team, not just when an HNA is being done. This should lead to actions being agreed in a personalised care and support plan that includes appropriate action to support the person with their psychosocial or mental health needs. For example:</p><p>- Signposting a person to peer support or cancer ‘buddies’ through patient groups, online forums etc;</p><p>- Signposting a person to a cancer support centre such as Maggie’s or a Macmillan Information centre;</p><p>- Providing training in relaxation techniques, problem solving and coping strategies;</p><p>- Referring a person to professional support in the form of emotional and basic psychological support from a clinical nurse specialist, or counselling from a trained professional such as a clinical psychologist; and</p><p>- Referring a person to professional support in the form of services for more serious mental health needs.</p>
