Eligibility and prescription pathway
Cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMPs) are unlicensed specials in the UK — they can only be prescribed by doctors on the GMC Specialist Register, and only where two or more conventional licensed treatments have been tried and not delivered adequate benefit. Our pathway respects that bar.
A no-cost 15-minute review with a Vesey Health Advisor confirms whether your condition and treatment history are likely to meet the prescribing criteria before you pay for a specialist consultation. If you are not eligible we will say so — and refund or never charge.
45-minute consultation with a GMC Specialist Register doctor: full history, review of prior treatment failures and side-effects, written diagnosis confirmation, and (if appropriate) initial CBMP prescription with product selection, dose plan and driving / employment guidance.
First follow-up to confirm tolerability, adjust dose, and check whether the product is doing what it needs to. Most patients see a meaningful change in their target symptom by this point — if not, we step back and reassess.
Once stable, prescriptions can be repeated quarterly with a short structured review. We coordinate with your existing specialist and GP where relevant — this is collaborative care, not a parallel system.
Licensed CBMPs (Epidyolex, Sativex, Nabilone) where indication and funding allow. Unlicensed specials — full-spectrum oils, isolated CBD preparations, and (selected cases only) prescribed dried flower — sourced through MHRA-compliant specials importers. Product choice is led by your condition and the evidence base, not the supplier.
Active psychosis or significant family history of schizophrenia, unstable cardiovascular disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding, age under 18 (unless a paediatric epilepsy indication), or where licensed first-line options have not been adequately trialled. We will write a clear explanatory letter and signpost alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
Is medical cannabis legal in the UK?
Yes. Medical cannabis was legalised in the UK in November 2018. It can be prescribed by specialist doctors on the GMC Specialist Register for specific conditions where other treatments have failed.
Who is eligible for a medical cannabis prescription at The Vesey?
Eligibility is assessed individually. Generally, patients must have a condition for which medical cannabis has evidence of benefit, and must have tried and not responded adequately to conventional treatments.
How much does a medical cannabis consultation cost at The Vesey?
Initial consultations start from £260. Ongoing prescription reviews are charged separately. The cost of the cannabis-based product itself is additional and varies by product.
Do I need a GP referral for a medical cannabis consultation?
No. You can self-refer to our medical cannabis clinic. However, we will request details of your previous medical history and treatments tried.
