Join this FREE, 60-minute online webinar to gain access to insights and learn about groundbreaking treatments to chronic mental health conditions.
Global interest and investment in psychedelic medicine companies is accelerating. However, these treatments are not like typical medicines. The patient experience and clinical care model is intense and also deeply, and necessarily, intertwined. So, the question arises, how can we develop care delivery models for these treatments that are safe, effective but also commercially viable? We will explore these themes with clinical service partner Emyria. We will explore how we are approaching these challenges and learn from Emryia’s experience creating an evidence-generating care model for medicinal cannabis.
This FREE webinar will explore:
- An overview of the psychedelic industry and its growth globally and locally
- The different types of for-profit commercial entities developing
- The need for these treatments in Australia and how we are actively preparing for their delivery
- Importance of working with a therapist the patient can trust and how set/setting play a role
- How the physical infrastructure of the clinic affects the patient experience. The importance of investing in the healing space
- The importance of co-creating robust and ethically-sourced clinical data with patients to ensure we learn from every patient

More about medicinal psychedelic treatments:
Psychedelic-assisted treatments offer enormous potential in providing a meaningful alternative to current treatments for mental illness. PTSD is a debilitating condition that affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with many more trauma victims diagnosed with comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. In recent clinical trials, MDMA has been shown to produce reliable clinical improvements, restoring patient safety and self-agency even for individuals who have suffered with PTSD for many years, and for whom many treatments have failed.
The wave of clinical psychedelic research and regulatory support is rapidly building, with experts forecasting the availability of psychedelic-assisted treatments in the US and EU within the next 2 to 5 years, subject to positive clinical outcomes in large trials that are currently underway.
