Managing ADHD symptoms with medication is a personal choice; some people explore this option, while others do not. According to NICE guidelines, those with ADHD may consider accessing medication if their ADHD symptoms continue to cause significant impairments after environmental modifications have been implemented.
Contact UsAs a team we do not prescribe medication for ADHD internally. However, we have a partnership in place with a prescribing service for young people age 11+ and adults.
This team can offer ADHD medication on an independent basis following assessment by South Wales Psychology, if medication is deemed suitable. The cost for the initial medication assessment is £295.
This service will then liaise with your GP with the aim of establishing a shared care arrangement with them.
It is advisable to ensure that you speak with your GP and/or your local NHS neurodevelopmental service directly about their policies on accepting assessments from private prescribers prior to starting this process, if you hope to access NHS treatment after diagnosis.
