Following this, you’ll be scheduled for an appointment with an Alternaleaf doctor. Our doctors are experienced consultants with over 10 years of expertise. They will review the notes from your initial consultation and, if appropriate, recommend a personalised treatment plan and issue a prescription for plant-based medicine.

We accept screenshots from the NHS app; however, to confirm your eligibility, we require a copy of your Summary Care Record (SCR). Without this information, we are unable to proceed with issuing your first prescription.
Yes you can, many patients use recreational plant medicine for pain relief or other symptoms and wish to access a medical-grade product safely and reliably, without the risk of legal repercussions. Our clinicians will provide you with a tailored treatment recommendation.
No you won't be charged if your doctor decides that plant medicine isn't right for you.

It must be prescribed and supervised by a specialist registered with the General Medical Council and is only available for patients with specific medical conditions. Alternaleaf operates in full compliance with these requirements.
Please note that recreational use remains illegal in the UK.

Dr Green London partners with specialist independent UK pharmacies to fill and supply your prescriptions.
Your prescribed treatment may be supplied in specific forms, such as oils or dried products, with clear dosing instructions to help ensure safe and consistent effects. Changing the format or way it is used can alter how your body absorbs it and the overall strength of its effects.
It’s important to always take your medication exactly as prescribed. If you are considering a different format or method of use, please speak with your pharmacist or doctor first so they can provide the appropriate advice.
Do you deliver across the UK, including remote areas?*

You may be able to request this from your current clinic or directly from your GP reception team, along with any previously submitted medical documentation.
We recommend requesting a discharge letter from your current clinic once you have been approved for treatment during your Alternaleaf appointment. Please note that we are unable to issue your first prescription until we have received this discharge letter.
