Auscann : Medical Liaison Managers Appointed

14 September 2017

Appointments advance Australian operations and will build strong connections with medical practitioners

• Three Medical Liaison Managers (MLMs) appointed to drive engagement and educational programs with the medical community

• The Managers bring an extensive knowledge of the chronic pain market and experience representing products for leading pharmaceutical companies

• Advances strategy to provide guidance and educational information to doctors, making AusCann the preferred provider of cannabinoid medicines Australia-wide

• Further builds on the Company's expert medical team, which includes recently appointed Chief Medical Advisor, Dr Danial Schecter from Canada

AusCann combines strong relationships with medical practitioners and a thorough understanding of cannabinoid medicines to ensure patients have access to the highest quality products for chronic pain control.

AusCann has a deep knowledge of cannabinoid medicines, particularly in the application for chronic pain, through the extensive experience and knowledge of its Canadian Chief Medical Advisor as well as through its international partnership with Canopy Growth Corporation ('Canopy'), the largest medical cannabis producer in North America. Canopy is providing the initial cannabis medicines to AusCann as Australian production is progressed.

The MLMs are responsible for leading engagement programs in their regions, expanding relationships and providing guidance and information to key medical practitioners.

Each appointee has an impressive resume and track record as representatives of medications governed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and most importantly are each well versed and passionate about the treatment of chronic pain. Chronic, and in particular, chronic neuropathic pain, is a key target indication for AusCann, with a significant number of studies indicating that cannabinoids have a positive impact on reducing pain. The need for chronic pain control is significant in Australia representing around 3.2 million people.

The new MLMs have combined nearly 50 years of experience in the health sector and have worked in senior liaison roles with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies including MundiPharma, Phebra, Sanofi, Astra Zeneca and Novartis. They have represented some of the most prevalent pain medicines including the leading opiate pain medicines and have worked with some of the country's leading pain specialists. They are each passionate about improving patient access to high quality pain medicines and excited by the potential of cannabinoid medicines in the sector.

The MLMs will work closely alongside the Company's Chief Medical Advisor, Dr Danial Schecter, and draw on his expertise gained from decades of working in the Canadian medical cannabis market and running his own cannabinoid medical clinics, the largest in Canada.
