The Canadian Senate recently passed Bill C-46 which will allow for the legal use of recreational cannabis across Canada by Fall 2018. While some physicians anticipate this new legislation will impact their practices with patients electing to try recreational cannabis instead of more traditional prescription medications or medical cannabis, others anticipate increases in patient visits related to dependence and psychotic symptoms. Take a look at our infographic for insights into Canadian physicians’ perspectives on the legalization of recreational cannabis.
While 32% of physicians surveyed support legalization, 47% oppose it. Supporting and opposing physicians have differing views on how their practice will be impacted once recreational cannabis is legal.
As a result of increased use of recreational cannabis, opposing GPs are more likely to anticipate an increase in patient visits related to the following conditions: dependence/misuse, effects on the brain, psychotic symptoms, anxiety, fear/panic and depression.
As recreational cannabis becomes easier to obtain, supporting GPs are more likely to anticipate a decline in patient visits related to prescriptions for the following conditions: anxiety/severe stress, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, panic attacks,
Our 5-minute online survey conducted in the fall of 2020 sought to gain clarity around remote detailing. This study was conducted with 339 Canadian physicians who are members of the MD Analytics healthcare panel and the results provide actionable recommendations on how to form a more ‘ideal’ pharma remote detail.
The COVID-19 crisis has significantly impacted physicians’ practices; but how and to what extent? Physicians have been managing significant workloads, while learning on the fly how to navigate and setup virtual meetings. Maintaining high levels of patient care while minimizing in-person interactions has also been challenging.
Strong online advertising and messaging are key to maximizing impact of any marketing campaign. With recent restrictions on in-person interactions, online advertising and messaging play an even greater role in reaching physicians. Our findings from a survey of n=227 Canadian physicians show that 82% of Canadian physicians have increased their use of online platforms as a result of COVID-19, 48% significantly so.
Physicians recognize that new medications often can be quite valuable for their patients and are eager to add them to their armamentarium. However, they do not always end up prescribing these new medications as much as they initially plan or as early as they would like. There are many reasons that can explain this discrepancy.
