- Inclusion on the GMC Specialist Register for Psychiatry.
- Experience managing complex and treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions.
- Strong understanding of risk assessment and safeguarding.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.

It’d be great if you have any previous experience prescribing medical cannabis or experience in private or independent healthcare settings. However, these aren’t essential as we offer full training.
