What Is the ADHD Prescribing Service?
Our service is specifically designed for patients who require ongoing medication management after an ADHD diagnosis. Key features include:
Titration and Repeat Prescribing
- We manage the titration process and provide repeat prescriptions for ADHD medications, including stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine) and non-stimulants (e.g., atomoxetine).
30-Minute Medication Reviews
- Regular appointments to monitor the effectiveness of medication, adjust dosages if needed, and manage any side effects.
Adherence to Guidelines
- All prescribing and monitoring follow NICE guidelines and Shared Care Guidance, ensuring best practice and patient safety.
Collaborative Care
- Patients remain under the care of their NHS Neurodiversity Service or private clinic that diagnosed and initiated treatment. We work closely with these services to ensure continuity of care and refer patients back to their consultant if clinically indicated.
