In November 2018 medical cannabis became legal on prescription in the UK. Very few patients have benefitted, and the number of Specialist Doctors willing to prescribe is low – Solace Medical seeks to address this most unfair situation.
By bringing together a key team of professionals, with first-hand experiences within the Medical Cannabis and CBD arenas, including parliamentary and medical lobbying, the team at the Solace Medical Resource Hub offer a centre of knowledge for Patients and Doctors.
For Patients
You cannot get cannabis-based medicine from your GP – it can only be prescribed by a doctor listed on the Specialist Register.
And medical cannabis is only likely to be prescribed for a small number of patients. Our specialists will discuss with you all the other treatment options first, before considering a cannabis-based product.
A prescription for medical cannabis would only be given when it was believed to be in your best interests, and when other treatments hadn’t worked or weren’t suitable. It’s expected this would only apply to a small number of people in England. However, there is an increasing number of private specialists in the UK who offer consultation and prescriptions – Solace Medical is currently creating a register of specialists.

What is Medical Cannabis?
Medical cannabis is standardised cannabis that has been grown for medicinal use. It is the unfertilised female flowering top of the cannabis plant.
This flowering top has the highest quantities of the desired medicinal compounds and it can be in the form of dried whole flowers (buds, cannabis flos) or in the form of a standardised granulate.
In Europe it is prescribed by doctors/specialists and is only available via prescription in pharmacies.
