ORB becomes a Recognised Partner
May 29, 2026 | IN INFORMATION | BY Kate Thorpe
The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is pleased to welcome ORB as a recognised partner for 2026.
ORB is a modular medical management platform designed to connect fragmented health information across private healthcare. Its technology supports secure, consent-led access to NHS GP records, helping clinicians view the information they need to make safer, better-informed decisions.
Its flagship product, ORB Connect, brings complete NHS GP records into private care. With patient consent, clinicians can access real-time GP information before, during and after consultations, including consultation notes, prescriptions, allergies, immunisations, problem lists, investigations and documents.
For clinicians working in medical cannabis, access to clear, up-to-date patient information is essential. Prescribing cannabis-based medicinal products requires careful assessment, a full understanding of the patient’s medical history, current medication, previous treatments, contraindications and potential risks. Fragmented records can make this more difficult, especially where patients are moving between NHS and private care.
ORB’s platform has been designed to help address this challenge. Alongside NHS GP record access through ORB Connect, the system enables clinicians to access, store, manage and analyse medical information. Its flexible modular design also supports appointments, clinical notes, digital prescriptions and custom reports, and can integrate with existing electronic medical record systems.
This partnership reflects the Society’s ongoing commitment to supporting clinicians with the tools, information and education they need to deliver safe, well-governed care.
Quote from ORB
Dr Danny Glover, CEO and co-founder, said:
“Medical cannabis prescribing requires real clinical rigour. Clinicians are making complex decisions for patients who often have lengthy medication histories, previous treatments and potential contraindications, so access to accurate, current information is essential.
The challenge is that GP summaries can take time to obtain and may already be out of date by the time they arrive. ORB Connect was built to address that, giving clinicians consent-led access to live NHS GP records at the point of care. It helps reduce administrative burden while supporting safer, better-informed prescribing.
We’re focused on supporting the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society and the high standards its members uphold.”
Kate Thorpe, Executive Director of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, said:
“Clinicians can only make safe and confident decisions when they have access to the right information about their patients. In medical cannabis prescribing, that means understanding the full clinical picture, including diagnoses, current and previous medicines, allergies, investigations and relevant correspondence.
ORB’s work in connecting private healthcare with secure, consent-led access to NHS GP records is an important step in supporting safer, more efficient care. We are pleased to welcome ORB as a recognised partner of the Society for 2026.”
