We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent healthcare regulator in England, with provider ID 1-12789410247. All of our clinicians comply with the requirements of their professional bodies and the standards set by applicable healthcare regulators and the General Medical Council guidelines on remote prescribing.
“You / Your” refers to the patient,
“We, us, our, the clinic” refers to CB1 Medical Ltd.
Following an appointment with one of our clinicians, you must seek further medical advice from us or from another healthcare professional if you have any concerns about the information given to you by the Clinic or if your condition changes.
You must seek immediate medical assistance if you suffer adverse or unexpected effects of any treatment, medicine or healthcare product recommended to you by one of our clinicians. We recommend retaining any patient information provided with the medicines prescribed by the clinic, to assist other health service providers should you need immediate medical assistance.
You acknowledge and accept that any information displayed on our website or published in any patient information, including about medical advice, is for general information purposes only and is not intended to amount to advice from a doctor on which you should rely.
We offer consultations & medical solutions for patients who suffer from pre-existing conditions, where past or current prescribed licensed medicines have not been effective and/or have triggered intolerable side effects. Although treatment with the Clinic will be initiated by clinicians who are part of a specialist register with the GMC, the Clinic is not a diagnosis service. Any prescriptions issued by the Clinic will be to support patients with the symptoms of conditions already diagnosed by other services and should be used as prescribed.
Our team will make an assessment to evaluate if medical treatment may alleviate your symptoms. Our team of expert clinicians will consider your medical history, national guidelines and your needs. You understand and accept that there is no guarantee that any of our clinicians will issue you with a prescription for medical solutions. Issuing of prescriptions is at the sole discretion of our clinicians. The clinical multi-disciplinary team may provide medical treatment/s for a range of symptoms and conditions, however, may require more detailed information from your GP or specialist before a final prescribing decision can be made.
We will only prescribe from our formulary which lists medications we are familiar with, and confident to prescribe. We are not affiliated to any particular manufacturer and try to offer a wide range of choice.
We can consider prescribing a medication that is not on our formulary, but we must be provided with the Medical Name and Manufacturer. We will contact the manufacturer to ask for the Certificate of Analysis and evidence that the manufacturing site is complaint with MRHA standards. Once this information has been reviewed by the clinical panel, a decision will be made whether it can be prescribed. This process can take an average of 2 months to complete. Read the latest government advice here.
Appointments with the Clinic are subject to availability and are made available to you at our sole discretion. We do not make any guarantee as to the availability of any single clinician at any time.
The Clinic requires full and accurate information about your medical history, and you agree to:
As part of the assessment process, you agree to complete detailed questionnaires about your current symptoms and how these symptoms impact on your daily life. As part of evaluating your treatment with medicines, the questionnaire/s will be reissued to you for completion at least quarterly as part of your follow up appointments. Continued prescribing is contingent on your engagement with the clinic and follow up appointments. As a clinical service a prescription cannot be changed without an assessment.
To secure an appointment you will be required to provide your National Health Number. We will need your consent to contact your GP/ health care provider to notify them of the consultation and any medication prescribed pursuant to the consultation. The Clinic cannot provide our services to you should you withhold or withdraw your consent for our clinicians to communicate with your GP.
If you do not provide us with the information we need, we may not be able to be provide our services to you. We will not be responsible for providing the services late or not providing any part of them if this is caused by a failure to provide the required information ahead of an appointment or the information when supplied does not evidence your health status as presented to us by you.
