Face to Face or Virtual Diagnostic Assessment with a Psychiatrist Consultant
Our Psychiatrist Consultant will take you through a diagnostic assessment. You will have completed the patient questionnaires prior to appointment. The answer you have provided and those of your informants will be discussed in greater detail.
If diagnosed, our consultants will assess the most appropriate treatment plan for you. If medication is the most suitable route, our consultant will take you through a step by step guide as to how and when you administer your medication.
You will be prescribed medication at this appointment using our Electronic Prescribing Service. If medication isn’t the best treatment for you then other options will be discussed, and we will signpost how to get those treatments.
The titration stage is where one of our independent medical prescribers will monitor your wellbeing, following receipt of your ADHD medication.
The essence of this stage is to ascertain which medication and level of dosage works best for you. Mutually agreed times will be booked into our virtual clinic to gain feedback from you on how the medication is working and to discuss any other related matters. The aim is to confidently reach a point where you are stable with both the medication and the dosage.
Once this is achieved you will be ready to be discharged back to you GP.
Before you are discharged back to your GP, a shared care review will be undertaken with our psychiatric consultant. During this review your treatment, progress and future plans will be discussed.
Once the consultant is satisfied with your progress, you will formally be discharged back to your GP. Since the service has a shared care arrangement with your practice, your GP can always contact the service for advice and guidance or where clinically appropriate, refer you back to the service.
