A new app being launched by Sapphire Clinics – the first of its kind for medical cannabis patients in the UK – will help to simplify care for new and existing patients.
Designed in response to ongoing patient feedback, patients will now be able to book an appointment, quickly report an adverse event, access clinic letters and view or download a replica of all current prescriptions.
According to Sapphire Medical Clinics, the list of features will be added to in the near future once initial testing and rollout has commenced over the coming months.

The Sapphire Clinics technology team stated: “Our aim with the Webapp is to personalise and simplify the experience for our patients, by eventually making all their medical cannabis admin and health tracking available in one place and accessible from anywhere, even on the go.”
Further developments in the pipeline include digital confirmation of the pharmacy receiving an individual’s prescription, prescription despatch details and an option to email a copy of a prescription to any healthcare professional, employer or police officer. Sapphire Clinics credited the role of their existing patients, particularly their patient engagement committee, for providing invaluable feedback and beta testing the app ahead of its launch.
One patient stated: “Overall, I was very happy with the app, it made things like booking appointments and re-ordering prescriptions very easy. I am excited to see the app updated with live tracking for prescriptions as well, this will be a big help in the future.”
Whilst another said: “It’s simple, easy to use, has everything I could need on there.”
All current patients with Sapphire Clinics now have access to the Sapphire Clinics Webapp. New patients can understand their eligibility and find out more about the service by visiting www.sapphireclinics.com.
