How do I get referred to Harrow Health

Patient Choice

The referral process to Harrow Health Right to Choose for patients suspected of displaying ADHD symptoms is straight forward.

If you are based in England under the NHS you now have a legal right to choose your mental healthcare provider and your choice of mental healthcare team. This important right means that, for instance, should you decide the waiting time for your ADHD assessment is too long, then you can choose alternative providers. The provider must supply the service to the NHS somewhere in England.

Harrow Health holds an NHS contract to provide Adult ADHD diagnosis and treatment services with North West London Integrated Care Board (ICB) we fulfil the criteria as an accredited provider under the NHS Right to Choose.

  • Download the Right To Choose letter and then discuss Harrow Health as an option with your GP.
  • Our current waiting time is one of the shortest in England.
  • Obtaining a patient referral from your GP, we are able to get your ADHD treatment paid for by the NHS.

4 Stages of ADHD Care at Harrow Health

1

On receiving your GP referral

  • You will receive an SMS message confirming that we have received your referral.
  • You will be asked to complete four pre-assessment forms. These must be completed to arrange your diagnostic appointment.
  • Once the pre-assessment forms are received, you will be booked in for your appointment.
  • It is really important to return all completed pre-assessment forms. Without this we cannot book your appointment.

2

Your Diagnostic Appointment

  • You will be offered a face to face or virtual appointment with one of our consultant psychiatrists or specialist clinicians.
  • If diagnosed, treatment options will be discussed in detail.
  • If medication is right for you, treatment can begin immediately. Our electronic prescription service means you will be able to collect your medication from any pharmacy of your choice.

3

Medication Titration

  • If you receive a positive ADHD diagnosis and wish to start medication, then you will move onto the titration stage.
  • As part of our patient care approach, our team of independent medical prescribers will support you with a medication review to establish the dosage that suits you. Your medication reviews will take place monthly.
  • If you do not wish to start medication or would like to think about your options, then you will be discharged from our service. If you wish to start medication at a later date, you can be easily re-referred back into our service by speaking with your GP.

4

Shared Care

  • Once your dosage is stabilised, our team will inform your GP practice with a Shared Care Agreement.
  • Providing that your GP accepts your shared care agreement, you will be discharged back to them and will receive monthly prescriptions from your GP.
  • If your GP does not accept your shared care, you will continue to receive monthly prescriptions from Harrow Health.
  • Harrow Health can also support you with an Annual Review. This will be a review of how you are managing with your ADHD medication.
