Medical Cannabis & Licence Support
Understand the legal route and who the decision actually rests with.
What this service involves
Medical cannabis has been available on prescription in the UK since 2018, but only through specialist clinicians on the GMC specialist register, and only where conventional treatments have been considered first. The route is legitimate and well established — it is simply not widely understood.
We explain how that route works, help you identify and approach licensed UK clinics, and organise your medical history, previous treatments and supporting records for consideration by an appropriately qualified specialist clinician under the applicable UK prescribing framework. The clinical decision is never ours to make.

About medical cannabis support
The questions we are asked most often about this service.
No, and we cannot influence that. ClaimWise does not prescribe anything. The decision rests entirely with a specialist clinician who will make their own assessment, and they may conclude that this route is not appropriate for you.
Prescribed cannabis-based medicinal products have been legal in the UK since November 2018. They may only be initiated by a clinician on the GMC specialist register, and usually only where conventional treatments have been considered first.
We explain how the legal route works, help you identify clinics operating within it, and help you arrive at a consultation organised — with your medical history and record of previous treatments in order, and a clear understanding of what will be asked.
No. That is a clinical matter and nothing on this site or in our support is medical advice. Those questions belong with your prescribing clinician.
