Eligibility criteria
The Grow Access Project aims to reduce the barrier to entry for prescribed cannabis medicines for patients on low-income or disability benefits as well as veterans of UK armed forces. Patients will need to complete the online registration questionnaires and will be required to prove receipt of income or disability related benefits or status as a veteran of the UK armed forces, at the point of registration.
Patients won’t have to provide any data, other than proof of their eligibility, to access the reduced prices. The same price reductions are available to all patients using Integro Medical Clinics, irrespective of whether they are new to cannabis medicines, moving over from another clinic or already with Integro (although the latter group won’t be able to make use of the low-cost initial consultation).
Patients must have a diagnosed pain or psychiatric condition and should have tried at least two licensed prescribed medications to manage their symptoms of their condition prior to registering. Patients must obtain their own medical and prescribing summary from their GP and have the documents available to attach onto an email. See the list of treatable conditions www.integroclinics.com
The Grow Access Project is available to patients-based UK mainland only.
The project will reduce the cost of the recently launched GROW range of cannabis flowers by £1 per gram across the range, to 6.50 per gram as well access to a reduced price on the Grow Pharma oils. At present there are four strains of flower available with a further two being introduced in August.
Other brands of cannabis medications can be prescribed through the scheme but will be subject to the standard RRP to patients. All GAP patients will benefit from reduced follow up and repeat prescription fee’s.
