40 inspirational women in cannabis
In honour of International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women making change in medical cannabis.
The Change-makers
Hannah Deacon, campaigner, executive director of The Medical Cannabis Clinicians society & director, Maple Tree Consultancy
Hannah Deacon is an award-winning medical cannabis campaigner. She ran a campaign in 2017/18 with the lobby group End Our Pain, which resulted in her son Alfie Dingley receiving the first legal NHS prescription for medical cannabis. His doctors received a permanent schedule one licence in June 2018 which enabled them to prescribe legally for Alfie.
Hannah now continues to campaign for fair access to medical cannabis treatments on the NHS as well as managing leading roles as executive Director of The Medical Cannabis Clinicians society, and director of Maple Tree Consultancy. Through this work she hopes to help create a patient focused sector which will benefit patients like her son Alfie.
She also co-founded MedCan Support, a charity which supports the parents and families of children with epilepsy.
