Psych Capital Plc
("Psych Capital" or the "Company")
Appointment of Conservative Drug Reform Policy Group Representative
Psych Capital Plc is pleased to announce the appointment of the Conservative Drug Reform Policy Group ("CDPRG") representative, Crispin Blunt, to its Medical Psychedelic Technical Advisory Board.
Since the Company's IPO, the board has been reviewing the regulatory landscape and investment opportunities in the UK, Europe and further afield, including drug development and patient delivery pathways. We have been actively working with the CDPRG, as part of our existing advisory agreement we have with them.
Their expertise in identifying regulatory barriers and opportunities, patient need, healthcare delivery frameworks, and political landscapes, have been instrumental as we actively assess a number of opportunities for strategic deployment of capital, leveraging our position as the first listed psychedelic company in London.
We want to be an active participant in shaping a delivery pathway for psychedelics to meet the significant unmet needs of patients in the UK and other markets, particularly in the context of an escalating mental health crisis.
William Potts, Chief Investment Officer, said: "Ahead of our next phase, we are delighted to add the CDPRG representative Crispin Blunt, a pioneering and leading healthcare politician leading the UK psychedelic health group, to our Psychedelic Medicines Technical Advisory Board, to augment our regulatory expertise, and to give us a seat at the table in shaping government / regulatory policy".
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
