Function and goals
Review looks at daily benefit, remaining difficulty and whether treatment still supports the outcomes that matter to you.
Ongoing ADHD care
Good follow-up asks what is working now.
ADHD needs can change with work, study, relationships, health and life stage. Review keeps support proportionate and prescribing clinically safe.
An ADHD assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis, medication, prescription or shared-care agreement. Please do not email medical details.

At a glance
The detail that protects the decision.
ADHD care should be careful enough to consider history, daily function, strengths, other possible explanations and the support needed next.
Health and adverse effects
Physical measures, appetite, sleep, mood, anxiety, substance use and other medicines are reviewed when relevant.
The next care arrangement
Responsibilities between specialist, patient, NHS GP and pharmacy stay explicit, including when shared care changes.
Clinical review
A pathway built around evidence and context.
The clinician brings together the person’s account, reliable supporting information, clinical expertise and recognised diagnostic and treatment standards.
The aim is an accurate, useful formulation—not a predetermined outcome.
01
Treatment benefit
Consider attention, impulsivity, restlessness, emotional regulation and functioning across key settings.
02
Monitoring
Provide measurements and other safety information at the intervals specified by the clinician and applicable guidance.
03
Life changes
Discuss pregnancy, new health conditions, other medicines, driving, work risks, travel and changes in substance use.
04
Annual specialist review
Reconsider overall need, medicine, dose, adverse effects, preferences, non-medication support and future monitoring.
Before you proceed
Make the scope clear.
Good preparation reduces delay, protects confidentiality and makes the clinical discussion more useful.
Have ready
- Current medicine, dose and pharmacy details
- Examples of benefit and remaining difficulty
- Side effects, missed doses or concerns about duration of effect
- Requested weight, pulse and blood pressure records
- Updates from your NHS GP, mental-health team or other clinicians
Important limits
- Appointments and prescriptions must be requested with sufficient notice
- Monitoring cannot be skipped because you feel stable
- The clinician may need in-person assessment or additional records
- Dose changes are not made solely on request
- If shared care ends, a safe alternative must be agreed before relying on further supply
A clear route
From question to next step.
Each stage should explain what is needed, who is responsible and what remains subject to clinical review.
Record
Track benefit, function, adverse effects and requested measurements.
Review
Discuss clinical progress and material changes with the responsible clinician.
Adjust
Continue, change or stop treatment only through an agreed plan.
Coordinate
Confirm prescribing, monitoring and the next specialist review.
Useful answers
The practical questions.
Clear expectations matter before assessment, treatment or transfer of care.
How often will I need review?
The clinician sets the schedule according to treatment stage, age, medicine, risk and current guidance. Titration usually needs closer contact than stable maintenance.
Why do I need physical measurements?
Some ADHD medicines can affect pulse, blood pressure, appetite or weight. Monitoring supports a safer decision about ongoing treatment.
Can a review be remote?
Some reviews may be suitable remotely if reliable information is available. The clinician may require in-person examination or measurements.
What if I stop taking medicine?
Tell the responsible clinician. Some medicines should not be changed or restarted without advice, and the reasons for stopping may affect the next plan.
What happens if my NHS GP stops shared care?
Contact the specialist service promptly. Do not assume either service has automatically taken over; responsibility and a safe supply plan must be clarified.
