How it works

From referral to a stable dose

Your clinic refers you once you’ve agreed. From there, reaching a stable dose usually takes around 9 to 12 weeks.

Day 0

Your clinic refers you

With your consent, your clinic emails us and copies you in. A single line is enough.

    Within 24 working hoursWe get in touch

    We email you the next steps and a link to book, and copy your clinic in so they can see you’ve been contacted.

    Choose a time that suits you. Appointments are by video call and available every week.

    Before your appointmentQuestionnaires and documents

    You complete a few short questionnaires and upload your assessment report, a recent blood pressure reading and a GP summary. We walk you through each one.

  5. 5
    45 minutes, video callYour prescribing appointment

    We go through your report, ask about your experience of ADHD, and review your mental health, heart health and any risks. If something needs checking first, such as high blood pressure, we arrange further checks and prescribe once it’s safe.

  6. 6
    Every 3 to 4 weeksFinding the right dose

    Your prescription is sent by Royal Mail next-day delivery, usually arriving 2 to 3 days after your appointment, and you start on a low dose. Two or three 30-minute follow-ups then adjust it until it works for you.

  7. 7
    Once you’re stableOngoing care

    We ask your GP about shared care. If your GP agrees, they take over prescribing. If not, you carry on with a monthly prescription from us. Either way, we keep reviewing your medication.

Making sure this pathway fits

This service is for people referred to us by one of our partner clinics.

This is for you if

  • You’ve been diagnosed with ADHD by one of our partner clinics
  • You have your assessment report, or your clinic can send it
  • You’d like to start ADHD medication with regular reviews
  • You can send us a blood pressure reading each month
  • You live in the UK

It might not be right today if

  • You need urgent help. Call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or 999 in an emergency
  • You were diagnosed by a clinic that isn’t one of our partners. See transfer of care
  • You already have an NHS or private prescriber managing your ADHD medication
  • You want a prescription without ongoing monitoring

Shared care with your GP

Once your dose is stable, we write to your GP and ask them to take over prescribing.

If your GP agrees

Your GP takes over

We send your GP a letter and your report. Your GP then prescribes, and the NHS pays for the medication. Your regular reviews stay with us.

If your GP declines, or you prefer us

You carry on with us

You request a monthly prescription from us. It covers our time, next-day delivery and any questions.

£58 a month

iShared care isn’t guaranteed. It depends on your GP agreeing, and some GPs decline private shared care as a blanket policy.

For assessment clinics

You assess. We prescribe.

Give your ADHD clients the medication pathway most of them want, without building a prescribing service of your own.

How to refer

Your assessment stays yours

We take the medication stage only. We work from your diagnosis and never repeat it.

No admin, no risk

No contracts and no fees for your clinic. Try it with a couple of clients first.

You stay in the loop

We reply to your client within 24 working hours and copy you in.

Adults and children

We accept both. Adults are reviewed every six months, children every three.

Straight answers

Will you assess me again?
No. We work from your partner clinic’s diagnosis and don’t repeat the assessment. Your prescribing appointment focuses on whether medication is safe and right for you.
Will I definitely be prescribed medication?
Most people are. If there’s a safety concern, such as very high blood pressure, we ask for further checks first, such as an ECG, and prescribe once it’s safe.
How is my blood pressure monitored?
While you’re on medication, you send us a reading every month, and we act if it rises too high.
How often will I be reviewed?
Once you’re stable, adults are reviewed every six months and children every three months.
Is shared care with my GP guaranteed?
No. Shared care depends on your GP agreeing to take over prescribing once your dose is stable, and some GPs decline private shared care as a blanket policy. If your GP says no, you can carry on with a monthly prescription from us for £58.
What if I haven’t heard from you?
We contact you within 24 working hours of your clinic’s referral. If you haven’t heard from us, call 0131 516 1656 or email hello@audhdpsychiatry.co.uk and we’ll check.
Does my clinic still look after me?
Yes. We only provide medication. Your assessment, and any support beyond medication, stays with your clinic.
