GMC-Registered Psychiatrist - Telemedicine CBMP Specialist in London

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.

Requirements

What we are looking for

• Full GMC Registration with a license to practise in the UK.
• Completion of Specialist Training (CCT/CCST) or equivalent certification.
• On the GMC Specialist Register for Psychiatry.
• Genuine interest in alternative therapies and the evolving evidence base around CBMPs.
• Comfortable working in a digital-first, telemedicine setting.
• Willingness to participate in structured data collection and outcome reporting.
• Complete mandatory training before commencing patient-facing duties, including role-specific modules and annual or triennial refreshers.
• Report all incidents and significant events through our incident reporting process, including near-misses and adverse patient outcomes.
• Comply with all patient confidentiality obligations and information governance requirements as set out in our information governance and confidentiality policies at all times, including after leaving the role.
• Enhanced DBS check (to be completed prior to commencement of work, required under).

Preferred

• Prior experience with CBMPs or willingness to complete a recognised Medical Cannabis Course for Specialist Physicians (sponsored by enua).
• Experience in private clinic, telemedicine, or digital health environments.
• Interest in a Medical Director track or in shaping clinical pathways for a new UK clinic.

Benefits

What we offer

• Sessional, part-time, or flexible engagement — with a clear path to expanded scope (incl. Medical Director responsibilities) for the right candidate.
• Competitive sessional rates, reviewed regularly against the UK private market.
• Comprehensive professional indemnity coverage for your work.
• No night shifts or on-call requirements.
• CPD-accredited medical cannabis education and bespoke specialist training.
• A collaborative multidisciplinary team that lets you focus on prescribing and patient care.
• Direct access to founders, your input shapes how UK clinical services are built.
