Hi everyone,
My GP has just referred me to ADHD360 via the Right to Choose (RTC) pathway. I’ve been occasionally signed off work due to ADHD-related struggles, and my GP made the referral specifically to avoid the standard NHS multi-year wait, as there’s a real fear I might lose my career without timely support.
I have two main questions for those who have been through this recently:
- Refusal of Shared Care & Costs
My GP warned me that their practice doesn't "allow" Shared Care for ADHD. However, since this is an RTC referral, my understanding is that ADHD360 remains responsible for my NHS care if the GP refuses to take it over.
- Will I still get my prescriptions at the standard NHS price (£9.90 or whatever the current rate is)?
- Will I be hit with the £450 annual "private" service fee, or is that waived because I'm an NHS RTC patient?
- Current Timelines for Treatment
Has anyone been referred to ADHD360 via RTC in the last few months/year? My employer is pushing heavily for a timeline. Once the GP sends the referral, what is the current "real world" wait time for:
- The initial assessment?
- Starting titration/medication?
Any advice would be appreciated, I am in North West UK.
