GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrist (m/f/d)

About us

We are a fast-growing European healthcare company operating at the intersection of medical cannabis, digital health, and regulated healthcare services. With a strong, profitable core business in Europe, centralized group functions (including procurement, finance, supply chain, and quality/regulatory), and a proven operational backbone, we are now building a scalable UK-based clinic and technology platform.

Our ambition is to redefine patient access, experience, and outcomes by tightly integrating technology, clinical workflows, and data-driven growth.

Tasks

The Role

We are looking for GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrists who are open to exploring cannabis-based medicines within a structured, evidence-led clinical environment. As an early clinical partner, you will assess and manage patients exploring medical cannabis treatment options across a range of psychiatric indications.

This is a foundational role: alongside patient-facing work, there is potential for the right candidate to grow into a Medical Director responsibility, helping to shape clinical governance, prescribing standards, and the wider clinical model of our UK platform.

What you will be doing

Conduct video-based psychiatric consultations with patients exploring CBMP treatment, including new assessments and ongoing reviews

Make evidence-led prescribing decisions in line with our clinical governance framework

Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team of pharmacists and nurses, with pre-consultation and follow-up tasks supported by the wider clinical team

Engage in clinical outcome data collection and help build the UK evidence base for CBMPs in psychiatry

Contribute to clinical governance, MDT meetings, and continuous improvement of our prescribing protocols

For senior candidates: contribute to (or lead) Medical Director-level responsibilities, including governance frameworks, prescribing policy, and clinical strategy

Complete a structured clinical induction before conducting your own clinic: observe a minimum of three MDT meetings and shadow three full patient consultations (with patient consent); the first clinic must be observed by the Medical Director

Participate in the high-risk patient register and 18–24 year-old patient register, applying enhanced monitoring protocols for vulnerable patients in line with our clinical governance framework

Obtain documented informed consent from patients prior to any prescribing decision and assess mental capacity in line with the Mental Capacity Act 2005

Prescribe on the basis of independent clinical judgment; prescribing decisions are not linked to session volume, revenue targets, or product selection

Participate in the monthly clinical audit cycle, including consultation note audits, prescribing rationale reviews, and outcome audits

Maintain GMC revalidation and good standing throughout your engagement, and notify the clinical governance team promptly of any change to your registration status
