The Company has identified that pharmacists are the most accessible and one of the most trusted health professionals in the Canadian healthcare system which makes them a critical component in the provision of patient care. In cooperation with the Company’s joint venture pharmacy partners, Wayland developed cannabis education programs, including this comprehensive online education platform to raise the standard of care across Canada. These programs will be available to pharmacists in over 2,100 pharmacies, coast to coast.

Wayland believes that there is a national need for education and more importantly practical guidance for medical cannabis therapy, assessment, dosing and monitoring to ensure safe and appropriate use for patients. As many cannabis patients present with comorbidities and take multiple medications, which require appropriate management to help avoid adverse side effects.

The Wayland program incorporates online learning tools including, webinars, educational events and educational resources specifically for pharmacists and clinicians. The Educational Program, which launched on October 1, 2018 – is accredited by the CCCEP for pharmacists on the clinical and practical application of cannabinoid therapy. In addition, it includes practice guides, instructional videos, dosing protocols and patient support materials which can be used by physicians and the full circle of care.

“We’re proud to elevate the standard of care provided to patients through an expert led educational platform that provides pharmacists and physicians the ability to become experts in cannabis and share this with their patients to enhance their quality of life,” said Ben Ward, CEO.  “We’re taking this platform now to other countries to help medical professionals understand cannabis, so they can speak in plain language to their patients regarding potential benefits.”
