We provide doctors and patients with an expert opinion on their medical condition and help determine whether medical cannabis treatments could be a viable option. Referred patients are seen by a consultant who specialises in their condition, as well as in prescribing medicinal cannabis. Our medical cannabis clinic is here for clinicians who’ve yet to find an effective solution to challenging medical conditions, and for patients who’ve been referred to us to establish the next stage of treatment.
