ADHD Medication – Shared Care Policy

Please be aware that our doctors do not offer shared care prescribing arrangements for ADHD medication initiated through either the NHS Right to Choose (RtC) pathway or private providers.

Patients prescribed ADHD medication through an NHS Right to Choose-approved provider must continue to receive their prescriptions and ongoing medication monitoring from that provider under the NHS. Patients who obtain ADHD treatment privately must continue to arrange their prescriptions and monitoring directly with their private provider.

Our practice will not take over prescribing or monitoring of ADHD medication under a shared care agreement.
