Unveiling New Partnerships to Accelerate Growth in Medical Cannabis
Script Assist is excited to announce new partnerships with Newgrove Pharmacy and Wellford Medical Clinics, marking a significant shift in how medical cannabis is prescribed and dispensed in the UK.
These agreements set the stage for the launch of Pharmacy SaaS, a game-changing solution that gives pharmacies a fully digital front-end and enables clinics—especially those without in-house dispensing—to seamlessly plug into a next-generation pharmacy network.
Scaling Growth in Medical Cannabis Through Smart Digital Networks
The companies that scale the fastest don’t try to build everything themselves—they partner with digital infrastructure that enables them to grow.
Consider these examples:
- Retailers don’t develop their own e-commerce platforms from scratch—they use Shopify to run their online sales while keeping full control of their brand.
- Supermarkets don’t reinvent logistics—they partner with Ocado, leveraging world-class fulfilment technology while maintaining their unique identity.
- Global enterprises don’t build in-house CRM solutions—they use Salesforce to streamline operations, avoiding the complexity and cost of bespoke systems.
At BCG, my co-founder Arjun Rajyagor and I worked on digital transformation projects for major global businesses like BP, Centrica, IHG Hotels, HSBC, and Tesco. Across industries, we saw the same trend: companies that scale efficiently don’t isolate themselves—they partner with trusted, best-in-class digital solutions to unlock growth.
The medical cannabis sector is no different. Building everything in-house adds complexity, slows growth, and creates inefficiencies. The winners will be those that embrace digital networks and integrated solutions.
This is why we built Pharmacy SaaS.
Introducing Pharmacy SaaS
Pharmacy SaaS is designed to help pharmacies fully digitise their operations while enabling clinics to integrate seamlessly with a tech-enabled pharmacy network.
With Newgrove Pharmacy and Wellford Medical Clinics, we are demonstrating how this model works in practice:
- Newgrove Pharmacy will launch a fully digital pharmacy with a patient-facing app, enabling prescription requests, live inventory visibility, and real-time tracking.
- Wellford Medical Clinics will integrate digitally with Newgrove, benefiting from a shared-care prescriber model that enables prescriptions to be reviewed, printed, signed, and dispatched on-site at Newgrove in real time.
For patients, this means ultra-fast prescription turnaround times, no stock uncertainty, and real-time prescription tracking.
For clinics, it provides seamless digital fulfilment without the need for an in-house dispensary.
What Pharmacy SaaS Offers
Pharmacy SaaS is designed to empower both pharmacies and clinics.
For Pharmacies – Own Your Digital Patient Experience
- A Fully Branded Patient App – Newgrove’s will be able to see live stock levels, request prescriptions, and track deliveries—all in one place.
- Streamlined Operations – Bulk processing, automation, and real-time inventory management eliminate errors and delays.
- End-to-End Prescription Fulfilment – With a shared-care prescriber, prescriptions can be authorised, printed, and signed at the pharmacy, ensuring near-instant dispensing.
For Clinics – Seamless Pharmacy Integration Without an In-House Dispensary
- A Fully Branded Clinic App – Wellford Medical’s patients will benefit from a clinic-branded app with real-time appointment scheduling, prescription tracking, and live inventory updates.
- Integrated Workflow & Fulfilment – From prescription authorisation to courier tracking, everything is automated and seamless.
- Easy Digital Pharmacy Partnerships – Any clinic using Script Assist can plug into Newgrove, instantly offering a full prescription service without managing dispensing themselves.
A New Era of Integrated Digital Healthcare
Imagine a fully connected clinic-pharmacy system where:
- Prescriptions flow instantly from clinics to pharmacies, eliminating delays and paperwork.
- Shared-care prescribers at pharmacies approve, print, and sign scripts in real-time, speeding up fulfilment.
- Patients track their medication from approval to delivery in one seamless experience.
This is not just theory—it’s happening now.
With Newgrove Pharmacy and Wellford Medical leading the way, medical cannabis dispensing is shifting towards automation, efficiency, and digital-first patient care.
And they’re not alone.
Leading clinics and pharmacies—including CB1 Medical, Medicann (serving Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man), IPS Pharma, Integro, and Lumir Clinics—are already looking to leverage the platform’s networking capabilities.
The UK medical cannabis sector is moving towards a fully connected ecosystem. Pharmacies and clinics that embrace digital solutions will scale faster, operate more efficiently, and provide a far superior patient experience.
