It operates online for UK patients only and offers discreet home delivery of prescriptions with ongoing consultations.

Safety & governance

Wellford emphasises that treatment is provided by specialist clinicians. The site notes that medical cannabis became prescribable by specialist clinicians in the UK after rescheduling in November 2018 and that the clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). FAQs describe how clinicians aim to minimise side effects and monitor for potential addiction, tailoring treatment plans to each patient.

Care pathway

Patients first book an appointment to check if they qualify, then complete an online video consultation with a licensed medical professional. If treatment is appropriate, they receive a prescription for medical cannabis products that are delivered discreetly to their home. Follow up appointments at around 6 and 12 weeks are used to refine dosage and review response.

Costs & access

Pricing is stated upfront. An initial appointment costs £70, which includes obtaining the Summary Care Record and aftercare support for the first prescription. Follow up appointments at week 6 and week 12 cost £50 each. Repeat prescriptions cost £20, not including the price of medication. Appointments run Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, and care is available to UK based patients only.

Regulatory

Wellford Medical Clinics is a private service regulated by the Care Quality Commission and lists its UK correspondence address and contact details. The site explains that specialist clinicians can prescribe medical cannabis products under the UK framework introduced in November 2018 and provides standard policies for complaints, privacy, terms and zero tolerance.
