To help us prepare for your visit, please ensure the following:

• A current specialist letter confirming your diagnosis and medication recommendations is required - please email this to reception before you attend for your appointment

• Bring your current medication list to your appointment

• Bring your recent blood test results (within the last 12 months) with you or forward them to the practice

Important information about your appointment

​

ADHD continuation prescribing is provided at the discretion of the treating doctor. The practice may request further specialist review where clinically indicated, or decline prescribing if safety concerns arise.

​

This service does not replace specialist care. Patients with complex or unstable mental health conditions will be referred back to their specialist for ongoing management.
