What shared care actually means
After a private diagnosis and stable medication, shared care hands routine prescribing and monitoring to your NHS GP while we remain involved for specialist oversight. It is the difference between paying privately forever and paying only until you are stable.
How we set it up
Once your dose is stable we send your practice a formal shared care request with the full clinical picture. Shared care is your GP practice's decision, and some practices in this area currently decline it for private diagnoses. Ask yours before you book. If they say no, you continue with us privately - ask reception for the review and prescription costs before you start.
ADHD medicines are controlled drugs, so private prescriptions run 28 days at a time and you pay the pharmacy's price for the medicine.
