ABOUT JORJA
Jorja is a private medical cannabis clinic founded by Robin Emerson and named after his daughter. Everything about how it works comes from what his family went through to get her treated.
All treatment is subject to clinical assessment and eligibility.
WHY WE EXIST
Robin founded the clinic and named it after his daughter Jorja. Her name keeps the purpose personal: every person who comes to the clinic has a life, a family and a story beyond their paperwork.
Jorja remains founder led. Robin built its approach around listening properly, explaining every step in plain English and treating people with the care he wanted for his own family.
“The dam has now broken open.”

WHAT WE BELIEVE
These are not slogans on a wall. They are the rules we built the clinic around.
Membership is £9.99 a month or £99 a year. There are no clinic fees stacked on top, no charge for routine reviews and no repeat prescription fees. Your pharmacy will give you exact costs for medication before you commit to anything.
Medical cannabis is an unlicensed medicine and the evidence base is still developing. We will tell you plainly what the evidence does and does not support, and a specialist doctor will only recommend it where they believe it is clinically appropriate.
Chasing records from GP surgeries and hospitals is one of the biggest delays in private care. It is our job, not yours. We request your records, follow them up and keep you informed of progress.
You see a specialist doctor on the GMC Specialist Register, and your case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary team. Day to day questions go to our patient support team, who know your care and pass anything clinical straight to your clinician.
* If you need a complex clinical letter, for example for legal purposes, we may need to charge a fee. This will always be discussed and agreed with you first. If you ask to change a repeat prescription that has already been issued, for a reason other than a clinical or stock issue, we may charge a small additional fee. Full details.
