Initial Checks

• Upon registering with us, please send us an emailed request to transfer your shared care agreement.

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

• During the transition phase, it might be necessary for you to obtain your prescriptions from your psychiatrist until the Shared Care Agreement is in place.

Transferring from Overseas

Medication Supply

• It’s crucial that you bring a sufficient supply of your medication to last while we conduct our initial checks and connect you to a UK psychiatrist, either privately or via the NHS.

Initial Registration

• Contact us and register as soon as you arrive in the UK. This will enable us to initiate the necessary procedures to ensure continuity of your ADHD treatment.

Establishing a Shared Care Agreement

• The process to establish a Shared Care Agreement can take several weeks. During this period, we will not be able to prescribe ADHD medication for you.

Engagement with UK Psychiatrist

• We’ll assist in connecting you to a UK psychiatrist to evaluate your treatment plan and ensure it aligns with UK healthcare standards. This step is crucial for establishing a Shared Care Agreement and ensuring a smooth transition of care.

It’s imperative to get in touch with us and initiate the registration process early to ensure a smooth transition of your care. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the transition process or your ADHD treatment at Claypath Medical Practice, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
