NEW Patient Adult ADHD referrals “commissioning gap”
Services for Adults with suspected ADHD have very long waits nationally, and our local provider has closed to NEW referrals.
Your GP may not be able to enter into “shared care” arrangements with online/remote/other providers for Adult ADHD care, and therefore may not recommend an NHS referral at all. Or they may be able to refer to alternative providers “for assessment/diagnosis only”, but not able to share care for treatment.
Your GP may suggest a referral to the private sector, but would not be expected to enter into “shared care” with private specialists, as the NHS GP.
This is a “commissioning gap” – where the services available on the NHS do not meet the needs of the population – and it has been raised locally and nationally.
You may wish to raise it yourself e.g. with your MP and/or with the ICB [email protected]
Our Digital Assistant
We are now offering all patients an option of support in getting set up and using online apps. The NHS App allows you to complete tasks online without having to ring the surgery, like looking at your medical record and test results, requesting prescriptions, checking your referral and many more!
By using the digital assistant, you will be able to access step by step guides on how to download and/or use functionalities within our online apps.
You can access the digital assistant by opening chat icon in the right hand corner, or alternatively you can click here
