As the Chief Medical Officer of CannaPlus+, I am dedicated to ensuring that our patients receive the highest standard of care and service.
The CannaPlus+team recognise that at the end of every consultation, patients have the fundamental right to choose where their medicinal cannabis prescriptions are sent. Our doctors fully respect this choice, and we ensure that scripts are sent to the pharmacy of your preference at no additional fee. While you have the freedom to select any dispensary, it’s important to understand the advantages of having your prescriptions filled directly at the CannaPlus+ dispensary.
Comprehensive Discussions and Insights
Over the years, our practice manager and lead pharmacist, who handle patient inquiries and scripts daily, have gained a deep understanding of the challenges that can arise when prescriptions are sent to external pharmacies. Their experiences highlight several distinct benefits of using the CannaPlus+dispensary:
Specialised Expertise
CannaPlus+ dispensary is staffed by pharmacists who specialise in medical cannabis. This focus equips them to offer expert advice and develop customised treatment plans tailored specifically to cannabis-based therapies. In contrast, general pharmacies often lack this specialised training, which can impact the quality of guidance provided to patients.
Consistent and Timely Supply
The dispensary at CannaPlus+ maintains a reliable inventory of prescribed cannabis products, helping to avoid the common issues of shortages or delays frequently experienced at external pharmacies. Our proactive inventory management ensures that medications are always available when our patients need them, providing a level of reliability that can be crucial for effective treatment.
Personalised Service
The team at CannaPlus+ takes the time to understand each patient’s unique medical history and needs, allowing for a highly personalised service. This level of care is often missing in external pharmacies, where the approach may be more generic due to the broader range of medications and customer profiles they handle.
Priority Access and Convenience
Choosing CannaPlus+ dispensary means enjoying priority access to the latest and most in-demand cannabis products. Additionally, our system for reordering prescriptions is streamlined to prevent the delays and bureaucratic hurdles that can be a common frustration in external pharmacy settings.
Privacy and Discretion
Understanding the sensitive nature of medicinal cannabis treatments, CannaPlus+ dispensary commits to a highly discreet and confidential service. This dedication to privacy often surpasses the capabilities of external pharmacies, which operate in more public and less controlled environments.
Competitive Pricing and Exclusive Discounts
Direct relationships with manufacturers allow CannaPlus+to offer competitive pricing and exclusive discounts that external pharmacies, facing additional markups or less favourable purchasing terms, may not be able to provide.
Ensured Product Quality
CannaPlus+ dispensary’s high product turnover and meticulous stock management ensure all medications are stored under optimal conditions, maintaining their efficacy. This is often not the case at external pharmacies, where slower turnover can affect product freshness and effectiveness.
Efficient Resolution of Queries
Issues or questions regarding prescriptions or products are swiftly and directly addressed by the knowledgeable staff at CannaPlus+, enhancing the overall patient experience. This direct communication contrasts with the potentially slower and less personalised query resolution processes at external pharmacies.
Knowledgeable Staff
Our staff possess a comprehensive understanding of both the clinical and legal aspects of cannabis products, ensuring fully compliant and informed patient care. This depth of knowledge is a significant advantage over general pharmacies, where staff might not have specific training in cannabis regulations and products.
Judgement-Free Environment
We are dedicated to creating a supportive, respectful, and stigma-free environment, ensuring that all patients feel welcome and valued. This commitment is central to the patient experience at CannaPlus+ and may not be as emphasised in external pharmacy settings.
Choosing where to get your medical cannabis can significantly impact your treatment experience and outcome.
