Shared Care Agreement
- If you are under the care of an in-person NHS mental health team, provided the standards are met during the initial checks, we’ll proceed with establishing a Shared Care Agreement, ensuring your treatment continues without interruption.
- If you are under the care of a private specialist, we will not be able to enter into a shared care agreement. You can ask us to refer you to an in-person NHS mental health team, but while waiting to see them, you will need to obtain your treatment from your private specialist directly.
- If you are under the care of a remote-only NHS “Right to Choose” provider, we will not be able to enter into a shared care agreement. You will need to obtain your treatment from your specialist directly. Alternatively, you can ask us to refer you to an in-person NHS mental health team, but while waiting to see them, you will need to obtain your treatment from your specialist directly.
Intervening Prescriptions

Medication Supply

Initial Registration

Establishing a Shared Care Agreement
