ADHD Prescribing Team
The ADHD diagnosis must have been made by a Psychologist within Malvern Hills Private Practice or by a Psychologist registered with our Partnership Pathway.
Please check with your assessor to see if they are registered with us. If not they are welcome to complete our Partnership Application form to apply.
Fees for ADHD Medication Consults are as follows:
- Initial Medication Assessment (50 mins) – £295
- Follow up (25 – 30 mins) – £147.50
- Prescriptions outside of appointments (£30)
Please allow at least 3 follow up appointments to fully stabilise dose and type of medication. The pharmacy will charge a fee for your private prescription to be filled which can be between £60 and £150 depending on type, dose and amount.
Once you are stable on medication, our prescriber will write to your GP to request a shared care arrangement.
Working Towards GP Shared Care
- NHS GPs are under guidance to only accept reports and assessments they believe are accurate and valid. This is why our report is 15+ pages, to provide full clarity on the diagnosis and any other mental health concerns.
- We believe our assessment and report will be accepted as valid by your GP. We meet all criteria set out in the Hereford and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board clinical policies guidance. Copies available on request.
- Once medication is prescribed your GP will received correspondence regarding the type and dose.
- We suggest you discuss this with your GP so they are aware you are seeking support outside of the NHS.
- Most GPs prefer the ADHD prescriber to undertake 6 monthly reviews. This 6 monthly review appointment needs to be booked at the final follow up.
- 30 minute reviews with the ADHD prescriber will continue for the duration that you are taking medication (every 6 months)
We are happy to have direct contact with GPs to confirm how we meet all appropriate criteria for shared care.
