Watch this before getting a private ADHD assessment in the UK

- I have been informed that it is called a shared agreement between the psychiatrist and the GP. The Psychiatrist is responsible for your care and the GP prescribes the medication.
Right to choose. This is a way of getting in through the door quickly so it’s a private clinic but funded by NHS. Therefore it’s free and it’s a few months wait not about 8 years. You have to get your private clinic to then agree on shared care but they will still essentially send you the meds. For it to be completely handed back to GP or even better your MH team they do a professional referral and that’s been a god send as it’s much easier to contact your local healthcare and they can change things in a day rather than waiting every 4 weeks to see your private psychiatrist. If you google right to choose there’s lots of info out there from how to get started to letter templates for your GP etc. Hope this helps someone ❤
I was diagnosed through Psychiatry UK and I had no problem at all getting my medication through Shared Care. I was really worried that my GP wouldn't agree to it, but she did, and I was absolutely amazed! I think I was really lucky 🙂
Hi Lorna, I’m in Scotland so likely different but I’m looking to go to psychiatry UK for a diagnosis and was just wondering do you know if psychiatry UK ask your GP for your medical history or are they able to get this automatically (by signing for it) thanks!
@@djr994 I don't think that they ask your GP for your medical history - but I'm not completely sure!
I was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at a private assessment centre, but the NHS doesn't recognise it nor gave me the ADHD medication I need.
Hey what is the wait time for psychaitry UK for titration? That is what I am worried about
@lornajoy8765 please let me know if the process was quick form start to finish
I had a chat with my GP about it beforehand. They assured me there shouldn't be an issue, and said they'd facilitate getting it handed over.
I'll try to give an update whenever things get to that point.
I went straight to a psychologists but I pay for everything out of pocket
Iv waited years for an assessment I finally had it over the phone yesterday iv now been put on a waiting list to see a consultant he will give the diagnosis! I looked at going private I was told all referrals had to be done through the gp for any private treatment or they won’t see you 🤔and even then I wouldn’t be able to get prescriptions unless I waited for the nhs one so I decided to wait! Have you don’t a video on your assessment? I tried to have a look but didn’t see one x
I bet it’s such a relief to finally have it after waiting so long! No I’ve not done one on that specifically. To be honest it was so long ago I’m not sure if I could remember it all but I can definitely try and put one together. I think my ‘diagnosed at 27’ one mentions it. I’ll have to rewatch and see!
@@FindingYourSerenity oh I’m not sure iv watched that one yet I’ll have a look! I’m 33 now it’s crazy I can relate to so many of your videos! The hospital actually rang me today and booked me in for a call with consultant next Thursday to give diagnosis and they will go through medication ect im panicking abit now there going to say I haven’t got it 😂
@@sarahlou5777 Good luck! I've heard many people say they have that fear but it will be so validating when you get diagnosed :):)
u gotta workout homie 😝 exercise is the key for good health and mind
I’ve started working out and you’re right it makes such a difference to how I feel! Just hate doing it though!!!
Exercise is good for you, yes. It obviously doesn't cure ADHD though, so this is irrelevant.
Hi Sarah! This video was really helpful and I was just wondering if the cost of the private treatment is lessened by this contact line with the NHS/GP providing medication instead of paying the private service for the medication, or if it’s the same price? I’m sorry i’m a little slow lol but is the benefit of this is a decrease in cost? Thank you! :)
Unfortunately it was the same price for me but with right to choose I think it can be free I am not sure on that though.
@@FindingYourSerenityHi! I finally got privately diagnosed today (after 6 years), and your video helped, so thank you!
I’ve been informed by my private care (ADHD360) that if I got a private prescription for medication, that’d be £80-£200 a month
Through the Right To Choose my GP can give me an NHS prescription now that I’ve been diagnosed. I’ve been told this’ll be a 1-2 month process, and I’ll be £9 a month. If you’re paying privately for medication currently, maybe ask your provider about pivoting?
Thank you again!
@@xenonbreakout Congratulations!! I get mine through the NHS but thanks :). This info may help someone! I didn't even know private prescriptions were a thing!
Interested in what your Current Medication is Now
Still the same - 25mg Atomoxetine!
@@FindingYourSerenity I find myself in your videos. I saw a video with you from 1 year ago. I have been living in the UK for 2 years. I am 99% sure that I have ADHD, but in my country only a few months ago, they raised the issue of adults being thoroughly investigated regarding the possibility of having ADHD, until now only children were susceptible. I have been receiving psychiatric treatments for the last 11 years until the summer of 2019, now I have an appointment with a psychiatrist here in the UK in Cambridge, I will see D. Doctor on Friday. I hope that I get out of this condition that has been blocking my development for so many years. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
