Schoen Clinic Chelsea, a premier mental health facility in London, has launched a new partnership with Script Assist, an innovative digital prescription platform, to offer medical cannabis as a therapeutic option for patients with certain conditions.
This partnership is the latest advancement in Schoen Clinic UK’s commitment to offering a comprehensive and advanced approach to patient care, and represents a significant step forward in the integration of traditional mental health treatments with innovative approaches.
Schoen Clinic Chelsea is renowned for its multidisciplinary team approach and personalised treatment programmes for a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD and eating disorders.
Through partnering with Script Assist, the clinic is embracing the digital revolution in healthcare and streamlining the process of prescribing UK-approved medical cannabis. This partnership not only expands treatment options, but ensures a seamless, efficient and personalised healthcare experience for selected Schoen Clinic Chelsea patients.
Script Assist’s platform is designed to connect patients with private doctors for the prescription of medical cannabis for certain conditions (and where clinically indicated), backed by a strong commitment to safety, compliance and patient satisfaction.
The synergy between Schoen Clinic Chelsea’s expertise in mental health and Script Assist’s technology paves the way for a new era in healthcare, where patients have access to a broader spectrum of evidence-based treatments within a supportive, comfortable and clinically-managed environment.
Marco Burman-Fourie, Clinic Director at Schoen Clinic Chelsea says “This partnership is testament to our shared vision of a future where mental health care is more holistic, compassionate and adaptive to the needs of each individual.”
Hannah Simon, Chief Operating Officer at Script Assist says “We are thrilled to partner with Schoen Clinic Chelsea to expand access to medical cannabis for their patients. At Script Assist, we are committed to empowering and enabling existing healthcare providers to prescribe medical cannabis.
Our partnership with Schoen Clinic Chelsea is setting a new standard in integrating emerging medicines with innovative digital solutions for their patients.”
Dr James Woolley, Consultant Psychiatrist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea and Schoen Clinic UK Medical Director says “It has been exciting to be part of developing this new combined treatment approach, especially for patients whose anxiety and depression has not fully resolved with standard treatments.
We have already seen significant improvements in symptoms within weeks of starting medical cannabis oils, which are a world away from the CBD products available without prescription on the internet.
To hear some of the improvement in sleep, social function and mood has been especially encouraging and as a prescriber being able to offer medical cannabis as part of a holistic treatment package within a safe and supervised clinical setting, gives reassurance that this is an ideal way to use it safely and responsibly.”
Dr James Woolley, Dr Divina Pillay and Dr Tara Tofiq are available with Script Assist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea.
