Living with a long-term health condition can affect every part of your day. If standard treatments haven’t worked well for you - or you’re struggling with side effects - it may be time to explore another option.
At Medicann, we assess patients for medical cannabis treatment where it’s clinically appropriate and legally prescribed in the UK for a wide range of health conditions. Our specialist clinicians focus on managing symptoms safely and responsibly, following current UK guidance and evidence.
Medical cannabis is most often considered when:
You’ve tried at least two conventional treatments without success
Your symptoms are ongoing and affecting your quality of life
You’re looking for a regulated, clinician-led approach.
Our process is simple. Every patient is assessed individually. If prescribed, your treatment plan is tailored to your needs, with ongoing reviews and support from our medical team.
Medical cannabis contains active compounds known as cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. These interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, mood, sleep, appetite and neurological function.
Depending on your condition, treatment may help to manage symptoms such as:
Chronic pain
Muscle spasms or stiffness
Seizures
Nausea and vomiting
Anxiety linked to diagnosed conditions
Sleep disturbance related to other health issues.
Treatment is only prescribed following a full medical assessment and when it’s clinically appropriate to do so.
