Releaf Prices vs Other UK Clinics
How does Releaf compare on cost? Below are the headline initial consultation and monthly medication figures for Releaf against the most popular budget, mid-range, and premium UK clinics. Consultation fees vary widely (from £0 to £299), but monthly medication costs are broadly consistent across clinics at around £80–£300 depending on your prescription.
| Clinic | Initial Consultation | Follow-up | Monthly Meds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Releaf (this clinic) | £50–£150 | £40–£75 | £100–£300 |
| Mamedica | £0–£100 | £0 (access scheme) – £75 | £80–£250 |
| Alternaleaf | £49–£99 | £40–£60 | £50–£200 |
| Curaleaf Clinic | £50–£150 | £50–£75 | £100–£300 |
| Integro Clinics | £95–£195 | £49–£195 | £100–£350 |
| CB1 Medical | £50 (all consultations free 12 months) | Free (after year 1, all care free for life) | £80–£200 |
| Dispensed | £45 | £29 | £80–£200 |
It's important to compare like-for-like: a cheaper initial consultation (Alternaleaf from £49–£99, Wellford Clinics from £5) is a strong draw, but the ongoing costs that matter most are follow-up appointments and your monthly prescription — which land in a similar £80–£300 range across most UK clinics regardless of the entry fee.

How Consultations Work
Book online — choose a date and time. The initial consultation is a video call lasting 30-45 minutes. A specialist doctor will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and assess whether medical cannabis is appropriate. You will need your NHS number and a rough idea of your medical history. No prior cannabis knowledge or experience is needed.
Releaf Prescription Process, Patient Portal & Delivery
If approved, your prescription is issued within 24-48 hours and sent to Releaf's partner pharmacy. Medication is dispensed and shipped via DPD next-day delivery. Repeat prescriptions can be requested through the patient portal between follow-ups.
Pharmacy Options
Releaf uses a single partner pharmacy for dispensing. This simplifies the process but means you cannot shop around for the best price on individual products. Delivery is free and tracked via DPD.
