Dr Michael Murphy graduated in both Medicine and Pharmacology at University College London. He came to New Zealand to train in adult and paediatric emergency medicine, developing interests in the field of toxicology, as well as becoming an investigator for clinical trials in New Zealand.
Over the past 20 years, he has encountered patients with a broad range of clinical conditions in his daily clinical practice and has kept up-to-date with the advances in medical understanding and therapies.

Dr Murphy is a passionate advocate of patient care. He believes that medicinal cannabis can provide a safe and effective adjunct for those whose medical care and well-being has not been fully met by primary or hospital-level care medicine.
