A consultant neurologist with more than 20 years’ experience in cannabis medicine, he was the first doctor in the UK to secure a government-issued full licence prescription for medical cannabis - in the landmark case of Alfie Dingley.
Professor Barnes played a pivotal role in shaping the UK’s approach to medical cannabis policy and education. His evidence-based report for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Policy Reform in 2016 was instrumental in paving the way for the legalisation of cannabis-based medicinal products in 2018.
He was also part of the early development of Sativex, the first licensed cannabis-based medicine in the UK, and continues to advise clinicians, regulators, and policymakers across Europe.
Como presidente de la Sociedad de Clínicos de Cannabis Médico y fundador y presidente del Consejo de la Industria del Cannabis, el profesor Barnes está comprometido con garantizar una prescripción segura, ética y accesible. Dirige las iniciativas de educación, capacitación y Buenas Prácticas de la Sociedad, proporcionando a médicos y profesionales de la salud el conocimiento, la confianza y los estándares clínicos necesarios para prescribir de manera responsable.
