Private Clinic Diagnosis & Medication

Advice For Patients Who Attend A Private Clinic For ADHD Diagnosis And Medication

A number of patients are choosing to attend private clinics for the diagnosis and / or treatment of ADHD due to current lack of provision within the NHS.

Patients should be aware that medications recommended for the treatment of ADHD are specialist drugs which are categorised as ‘Amber List’ medication.

It is our Practice Policy that in order for one of our General Practitioners to prescribe these, the medication must be initiated by an NHS secondary care specialist within the NHS, and there must be an agreed ‘Shared Care’ arrangement in place between the named Consultant and the General Practitioner for the on-going monitoring of these medications. This is to ensure optimal patient safety. 

We recommend that anyone attending a private clinic discusses this with their consultant.
