Medication

Medication is an integral aspect of the treatment process for many people seeking a private ADHD diagnosis. Getting an appointment with an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long, and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

Asking your GP to refer through Right to Choose is one way to avoid this (see psychiatry UK and ADHD 360).

If you're looking to discuss your titration plan or treatment plan more thoroughly it is possible that you'll be sent back to the private clinic who performed your initial assessment. If this happens, the titration appointment will be included in the consultation fee and they will receive their medication on private prescription (see Consultation fees above).
