GMC-registered Pain Specialist / Consultant (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

Chronic pain remains one of the most complex and challenging areas of medicine, particularly for patients who have reached the limits of conventional treatment. We are looking for GMC-registered Pain Specialists who are open to exploring cannabis-based medicines within a structured, evidence-led clinical environment.

As an early clinical partner, you will play a key role in shaping how medical cannabis is prescribed, governed, and integrated into the UK pain pathway. You will work within a multidisciplinary model alongside pharmacists and nurses, focusing on patient assessment, prescribing decisions, and ongoing care. 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 consultations with patients seeking medical cannabis treatment for chronic pain, 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 contribute to building the UK evidence base for cannabis-based medicinal products (CBMPs)
  • Participate in clinical governance, MDT meetings, and continuous improvement of our prescribing protocols
  • Take part in CPD-accredited training in medical cannabis, including bespoke specialist sessions
  • 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 framework, applying enhanced monitoring protocols for vulnerable, young, or high-frequency-using 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

Required

  • 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 Pain Management (or equivalent specialty)
  • 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 employer)
  • Experience in private clinic or telemedicine models
  • Interest in shaping clinical pathways and contributing to the build-up of a new UK clinic

Benefits

What we offer

  • Sessional, part-time, or flexible engagement — choose the working pattern that fits your portfolio
  • Competitive sessional rates, reviewed regularly against the UK private market
  • Comprehensive professional indemnity coverage for your work with employer
  • 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
  • The opportunity to help shape the UK medical cannabis landscape from an early stage, with direct access to founders and a profitable European parent business

Working arrangements

  • Remote, UK-based: flexible working hours and days
  • Standard session length: 4 hours; appointment duration: 15 minutes
  • Initial onboarding: minimum 2 sessions per week (8 hours) to build proficiency on our platform
If this resonates, we'd love to hear from you.
