Shared Care
Supporting Continuity of ADHD Care
Shared care allows your GP to continue prescribing your ADHD medication once your treatment is stable. We provide all necessary clinical documentation and structured communication to support a safe and coordinated transition.
Our goal is to ensure continuity, safety, and clarity between specialist and primary care services.
How shared care works
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
Shared care typically involves:
- Completion of ADHD titration under consultant supervision
- Stabilisation of medication dose
- Clinical review confirming suitability for shared care
- Submission of shared care request to your GP
- GP decision on whether to accept prescribing responsibility
GP DECISION & LOCAL AGREEMENT
Once requested:
- Your GP reviews clinical documentation
- They assess whether shared care can be accepted
- Local prescribing policies are applied
- A formal agreement is confirmed or declined
- You are informed clearly of the outcome
ONGOING SPECIALIST SUPPORT
Even in shared care, we continue to provide:
- Specialist ADHD reviews as needed
- Clinical advice and medication guidance
- Support if symptoms change or concerns arise
- Review of treatment effectiveness
- Coordination with your GP where required
