📺 Our very own Charlotte Small spoke with Amos Ogunkoya on BBC Morning Live about cannabis-based medication, broadcast earlier today. 🔗 Link to longer segment to follow - featuring Charlotte and Billy Caldwell, Rik Swaine and Celadon.

It was a pleasure to be invited to talk all things endometriosis and chronic pain to Boots UK Online Doctor members. 🙋 "Keep asking questions. (Chronic pain) is an evolving field and medicine. We don't have all the answers. Anybody who says that they understand how to get rid of pain or why we have it in the first place isn't telling the truth. So keep on asking, but at the same time empower yourself, learn about your own body, learn what helps you. Everything is worth a try." 🔴 For those who missed it, the webinar was recorded and should be available soon.

😖 Seeing a clinician can be a stressful experience, from retelling your story to facing what's troubling you. The unnecessary stress of getting to the appointment itself can compound this. 🤳 That's why we're excited to introduce one-click video calls in the Leva app. Starting now, all appointments will be hosted directly within Leva. 😌 No more juggling with third-party video call platforms - everything is in one place. It's like stepping directly into the doctor's room instead of rushing anxiously to the correct hospital ward and sub-waiting area, hoping you'll make it on time. 🖥 And for those who prefer seeing a doctor on their computer, a desktop web app version is also available.

“While the effectiveness of these therapies varies, for me the one which has been life-changing was the introduction to Leva Clinic and medical cannabis… This has helped with my muscle spasms at night, incredibly having the positive knock-on effect of increased quality of sleep which I have not had in over a decade. This has led to increased energy levels in the day and a reduction of spasms.” Leva patient Martin took pen to paper in the latest issue of MS-UK New Pathways magazine, documenting his experiences living with MS, his recent stem cell treatment and how he manages MS pain. We’re proud to be a part of Martin’s journey. 📖 Read/subscribe the MS-UK magazine → https://lnkd.in/eNtnSvTy 🎧 Listen to Documenting MS, Martin’s podcast → https://lnkd.in/eas6KNBj

So proud of the team for everything we’ve achieved this year 👏👏

🌟As 2023 comes to a close, we’d like to say thank you for being a part of Leva this past year. It’s been our biggest yet. We’d like to share three major reflections on the year. 

Sadly many people living with persistent pain feel invalidated or like their pain is "all in their head". Many have had to fight for a diagnosis. We always take the time to listen and make sure our patients' voices are heard. Seeing this echoed in patient experiences is especially motivating - like this review from Christine via Trustpilot 😌 https://lnkd.in/eh-5-NSe

Navigating chronic pain throughout the festive period can be challenging. For our patients, pain doesn't take a break. We’re making full use of our new in-app resources to make sure help is uninterrupted for our patients. Like all-important pre-Christmas repeat prescription requests. 📲 Our goal is to keep everyone well-informed, ensuring they stay in the loop and aren't affected by holiday closures.🎄
