Yes. To continue with ADHD Medication a GP needs to have reassurance that you are still under specialist care. If your GP does not get confirmation of this then they are liable to stop your prescription, and it is our duty in terms of safe prescribing to ensure we inform them of not only the times you attend the service but also if you no longer engage with us.
Prescribing guidance for monitoring Controlled drugs is well-defined. As most ADHD Medicines are controlled drugs, we always adhere to safe prescribing guidelines
Is there a demand for appointments?
Yes. NHS ADHD services are struggling and as such the demand for ADHD care and for patients asking to transfer to our service has increased.
