Lisa Nguyen is a woman on a mission. Having cut her teeth at Canopy Growth and Medlab Clinical, she’s launched a new pharmacy in Melbourne’s South Yarra which aims to smash down the barriers to entry familiar to so many Australian cannabis patients …..
….. It offers a front-of-house service where patients undergo a medical review by a healthcare professional (virtually or face to face in the dispensary’s lounge) to assess their eligibility for treatment and educate them on the endocannabinoid system.
Once deemed eligible, a criteria set by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the patient is connected virtually via iPads in the dispensary to a large range of affiliated doctors all over Australia.
Astrid has also partnered with Epsilon Healthcare’s telehealth arm Tetra Health to provide in-person consultations.
