The treatment process

If a trial of ADHD medications is agreed, you will be offered regular appointments for prescribing medication and monitoring your response to this.

Once stabilised on your medication, we will ask your GP to continue to prescribe this going forwards and discharge you to their care.

If a decision is made between you and your clinician that medication is not advised, then we will discuss alternative interventions and support.

• ADHD medication requires careful monitoring and ‘annual reviews’ by a health care professional with appropriate knowledge of ADHD.
• In Oxfordshire at present, there is no NHS service which is commissioned (funded) to carry out these annual reviews.
• Until this situation is resolved, a number of GP practices in Oxfordshire have decided it is unsafe for them to provide on-going prescriptions of ADHD medication for adults.
• If your GP practice is one of these practices we are unable to offer you an assessment until the situation is resolved. You may therefore wish to pursue an alternative route available via the Right to Choose pathway.

At this point, we are not able to offer any psychological input.
