This is part of the company’s wider ambition to extend its reach into physical pharmacies throughout the UK
Kanabo Group plc, a medical cannabis research and development company, has entered into a partnership with City Dock Pharmacy in London to introduce a walk-in clinic for pain management.
The pain clinic will cater to patients who are eligible for alternative therapies (when traditional treatments have failed to deliver improvements), and will offer specialised medicines, including medicinal cannabis.
When it opens, the new facility at City Dock Pharmacy in Wapping will become the UK’s first walk-in clinic for pain management, but it will also deliver appointment-related services, the companies said.
The partnership is part of the London-based company’s wider ambition to extend its reach into physical pharmacies throughout the UK, and its plans to replicate this model across other pharmacies.
Avihu Tamir, Chief Executive Officer at Kanabo, is optimistic that this collaboration will pave the way for a “new holistic approach to treating pain and the opportunity to extend this to additional indications.
The onsite clinic is expected to increase the number of patients who receive medicinal cannabis treatment through its ‘Treat It’ online platform, and help create personalised treatment plans for chronic pain sufferers across the UK.
Kanabo also develops tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) formulas to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders or central nervous system diseases, and non-THC formulas for the growing cannabidiol (CBD) market.
