A forum in Quebec, Canada, with 57 participants including patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers, produced 16 recommendations for expanding access to psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in palliative care. The recommendations address patient eligibility and equity, regulatory frameworks and respect for autonomy, logistical and organizational aspects, professional education and training, public awareness and information, and research. The report suggests these recommendations could guide similar efforts in other jurisdictions facing barriers to this therapy.
