clinic advice

I don't know of any that state this as a specialty but check the main MedBud.wiki for which pharmacies the clinic uses, this will give you an idea of which pharmacies hold the largest formulary.

So there's clinics (doctors who can prescribe the cannabis), and pharmacies (people who can dispense / post out to you / collect payment for the cannabis).

Some clinics also have their own pharmacy, and prefer to handle everything in-house (that might be good for them, and can be convenient, but it's not always good for the patient).

So you'll go to a clinic (once you've decided which one) and their initial consultation / intake process covers getting medical records and determining if you qualify for being prescribed medical canna, and there are no red flag risks.

Every (reputable) clinic is going to want to check through your medical records, see copies of ID, proof of address, etc, because they are prescribing a controlled drug, you must have a qualifiying disability / long-term condition, and must have tried two forms of treament already. There will be other factors but this is the broad strokes of it from a patient point of view.

I'd say only use a clinic you can see listed on the page below on this site we're on now (MedBud.wiki) since there are some dodgy places popping up.

AFAIK thats not possible - your GP surgery is copied on letters to you as its a specialist informing you and your GP. I guess you got your reasons for not wanting to inform them but don't let this stop you mate (y)
 
I think it may be possible to get your summary of care record from the NHS app going off what @utopiate mentions in another thread here.
I've not done this myself but could be a possibility.

Yes.

As mentioned they do link up with reports of your treatment but it is nothing to fear as your GP has no control over your MC journey or prescription and the only thing that would prevent you getting MC is a medical reason (not a doctors stigma or reservations about cannabis)and you would be getting prescribed by a consultant /specialist .
 
^^^^Just to echo that solid advice - once accepted to a clinic, its between you and the specialist, I have heard nothing from my GP re MC since 18months and have changed clinic(s) too. (y)
