Welcome @dari78. Your in good hands here. CB1 Medical is a good choice of Clinic, there are plenty of choices on their Formulary for flower, oils, vapes and pastilles. For evenings a good Indica would work for you regarding lack of sleep and probably a good oral oil to go with it of an evening. The docs and staff are very understanding and listen to you, it's easy to speak to someone if you needed to phone them for anything, they can obtain your medical records for you, so your not having to do the leg work as they are connected to the NHS. It cost nothing to transfer from another clinic. It costs £50 per Yr for as many consultations as you need in that 12mths. I can choose my own meds because I know what works for me. Hope this little bit of info helps

. There are plenty of people here who can't sleep without meds who can help with a choice of strains for your condition.

Have a look at a landrace pure Indica like Hindu kush, Sundaze® have a purple punch that's very heavy for some

It’s tricky. Everyone is different. For me cosmic cream and sourdough are my gotos for sleep. If you are really sensitive to THC, try CBD strains? But I’m sure there are some THC strains out there that will knock you out, it’s just a case of finding them. Peace

You can send in your records yourself no problem. Some people have issues gathering their records themselves. It is best that your GP is aware of any private treatment by another prescribing doctor. This is to ensure that your GP is aware and can update your records especially if you were to have an accident, your records need updated so the best treatment is given to you. That's just one of many reasons. Myself, when I mentioned to my GP pharmacist I was going to be taking cannabis as a preferred treatment and to cut my opiate intake down, she didn't like it at all. Now when we speak, she excepts my treatment now because of my NHS pain Specialists excepting that i use Cannabis for my conditions and the positive benefits I'm having from Cannabis Treatment. I've been told by her if I were to go into hospital my treatment for cannabis would have to carry on as a treatment. You don't have anything to worry about your doctor knowing that your using cannabis as a treatment.

Any flower with purple or blue in the name are good strains. Purple Punch for one, don't think that available but it does come about.

i appreciate what your saying,, , are all clinics based like that , or can you join others without a need for sending in records?

There are a few strains like this(balanced) that patients currently have access to:

Therismos Access BLD T7:C8 Blue Dream Balanced

The flavours and aromas released by Blue Dream CBD are delightful, offering notes of citrus and pepper on a fruity and sweet base.
