Medications and prescriptions

Our service is led by psychiatrists. They are specialist medical doctors who can assess mental health conditions and prescribe medication.

They can recommend, prescribe and manage medications for a range of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions.

Our ADHD medication initiation and titration pathway

ADHD can be diagnosed by psychiatrists or clinical psychologists. However, psychiatrists are the only specialists who can prescribe medication. We’re here to support you if you have an ADHD diagnosis, whether you’ve been referred by a psychology partner for medication titration or have come to us directly.

Our ADHD medication initiation and titration pathway includes:

  • Reviewing your diagnosis and gathering any additional information required before starting medication

  • Discussing your medication options with you

  • Prescribing medication where clinically appropriate

  • Regular check ups during the titration process to find the most effective dose

  • Applying for shared care with your GP

  • Annual reviews

Medications to treat specific mental health difficulties

Medication can be used to treat a range of mental health conditions and may help you manage your symptoms more effectively. If you have received a diagnosis, you can choose to begin treatment with us.

Your psychiatrist will work closely with you to monitor your progress and adjust your medication as needed, helping you find the most effective dose while minimising side effects. Once your symptoms are stable and your treatment is well established, we can explore a shared care agreement with your GP where appropriate.
