Diagnosis & Treatment

If a diagnosis of ADHD been reached and medication is offered and decided upon then initially this will be provided as a private prescription.

Ahead of being able to prescribe any ADHD Medication we will require you to have some blood tests and an ECG done (this can normally be done via your NHS GP). These tests are for your safety and to ensure there are no underlying conditions that may contraindicate any medication we may prescribe.

Our treatment packages use a combination of evidence-based treatments which may include a combination of medications, psychological therapy, and working with a specialist learning development coach that can help you to develop new skills in the following areas:

• Stress management
• Balancing work and social life in a healthy way
• Good time management and effective study skills
• Techniques for better organization and academic self-study
• Effective revision and exam preparation
• Sleep problems

We also offer a free introductory coaching call as part of the initial assessment to explain how our specialist behavioural coaching programme can help you to get on top of your ADHD symptoms.

Setting up a Shared Care Agreement with your GP

If you choose to go on medication, once you are on a stable regime, then if you wish, we can set up a Shared Care Agreement with your GP so that they can take over the prescribing of any medication that may be indicated in your treatment plan. We have standard protocol documents for this procedure. This would mean that your prescription would then become an NHS prescription and therefore charged at their standard rate. Please note we cannot guarantee a Shared Care arrangement with your GP. We would encourage you to discuss your plans for a Shared Care Agreement with your GP before you commence on treatment with the ADHD centre, so that they are informed and involved early on.
