Medication

Getting a prescription from an NHS psychiatrist can be a challenge and time-consuming. NHS waiting lists can be extremely long, and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients to specialist services.

One method to avoid this is to ask your GP to refer you through Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider who offers an assessment that is private and titration. This will cut down your waiting time significantly and is more convenient if you are working and have a busy schedule.
