At Releaf, we have streamlined the triage process to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care and treatment in the shortest possible time, including prescription delivery.
Once you have completed our free and easy eligibility checker, the Releaf triage process then involves the following:
Our multidisciplinary team of experts, including specialist doctors, nurses, and patient support staff, work together to evaluate each patient's unique needs and provide personalised treatment plans.
If everything is in order, the approved script is then released to our pharmacy (Xeal dispensary). You will receive an email and an SMS notifying you that your prescription is ready for payment. Once payment has been processed, the experienced pharmacists begin preparing the medication, which will then be sent out for delivery.
The initial consultation is the first step in determining whether cannabis-based medicine is the right treatment for your condition. Instead of following a rigid set of questions, our specialists will engage in an open dialogue. They will review your medical history and records and ask a range of questions. This thorough conversation allows the specialist to make a well-informed decision about the suitability of medical cannabis for your individual needs.
Accessing your medical records is a crucial step in our triage process. This lets our specialists fully understand your medical history, current medications and health issues, and any potential medication contraindications.
The MDT review is an essential step in our triage process. It involves a team of experts reviewing your case as a whole and discussing the best possible treatment options for you. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of your health are taken into consideration and that the most suitable treatment plan is recommended for your specific needs.
Every specialist, nurse, and patient support staff member in our MDT is highly trained and knowledgeable about the application of medical cannabis, and they all bring different perspectives and expertise to the review process. This holistic approach allows us to provide comprehensive and personalised care for each patient.
Supply chain issues have plagued the UK medical cannabis industry, and many patients have experienced long waiting times for their medication. That's why we have recently partnered with Glass PharmsⓇ .
Glass Pharms has produced the first UK-grown medical cannabis available to UK patients, heavily reducing the delivery time. We no longer need to be reliant on overseas medical cannabis supplies, and patients can receive their medication quickly after approval.
It is important to seek medical advice before starting any new treatments. The patient advisors at Releaf are available to provide expert advice and support. Alternatively, click here to book a consultation with one of our specialist doctors.

Medical cannabis has recently hit the big time here in the UK. Although it's been legal for almost six years (since November 2018), the general public's understanding of this has been surprisingly lacking. That is, until now.

Cannabis is an incredibly complex plant that contains thousands of active compounds. While the most well-known compounds may be cannabinoids - and of these, CBD and THC enjoy the most coverage - another class of compounds contribute significantly to the potential benefits of this incredible plant: Terpenes.
