Comprehensive care and clear guidance
What We Offer
Our consultations combine clinical expertise with a pragmatic approach to patient needs. We assess medical history, current medications, and treatment goals to determine whether medical cannabis is a suitable option. If appropriate, we discuss product types, likely benefits and side effects, interactions, and legal considerations. A personalised plan is created, including dosing guidance, follow-up schedules, and how outcomes will be measured. We prioritise safety, using evidence-based practices and liaising with primary care where needed. Ongoing reviews allow dose adjustments and side-effect management so patients can make informed decisions about their treatment.

Consultation Process
Consultations are available in person or via secure video calls to improve access. Each appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, allowing time for a detailed clinical review and questions. We evaluate symptoms, previous responses to therapies, and any contraindications. Where a prescription is indicated, we provide clear instructions, expected timelines for benefit, and monitoring plans. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to review effectiveness and tolerability, and we provide written summaries for patients and their GPs. Our approach emphasises shared decision-making and ongoing support throughout the treatment journey.
Key Points to Know
Patients often ask about eligibility, costs, and expected results. We assess each referral against clinical criteria and evidence for medical cannabis use. If suitable, we discuss likely benefits for symptom control and quality of life, alongside limitations and potential side effects. Costs can vary depending on products and follow-up needs; we provide transparent information during the consultation. Our follow-up system tracks outcomes using symptom scores and safety checks, ensuring timely adjustments and informing long-term care decisions. We aim to make the pathway clear, safe, and supportive for every patient.

Product Selection and Use
Selecting the right product depends on the condition, patient preference, and safety profile. We explain differences between CBD-dominant and THC-containing products, routes of administration like oils or capsules, and how to start low and go slow with dosing. We also cover storage, legal considerations, and what to expect in the first weeks of treatment. For patients already using alternative preparations, we review interactions and consider safer, licensed options where available. Our team collaborates with pharmacies and dispensing services to ensure patients receive accurate labelling and practical advice on use.
Patient-centred and evidence-informed
Our Approach
We prioritise clear communication, realistic expectations, and regular review. Every treatment plan is personalised, with documented goals and agreed review points. If medical cannabis is not appropriate, we discuss alternative therapies and support options. Confidentiality and respect are central to our service. We also provide written information and resources so patients can make informed choices and discuss options with family or carers if they wish.
