ADHD Screening Form

From 01 July 2024, we will no longer be able to take on prescribing and monitoring of shared-care medication or specialist monitoring for ADHD for new patients with a diagnosis made in the private sector (please click here for more information)

If you have had a diagnosis of ADHD, made by the NHS, then please make a prescription request via this form which will be screened by a GP. The GP will review your form and clinical notes, and then follow the NHS Lothian Shared Care Protocol (please click here for more information) for ADHD specialist medication to assess the suitability of your request. You may get a call from our receptionist if there is a need for further discussion.

For adults (aged 18+), we will only issue ongoing prescriptions after handover from the specialist when the dose is stable and you provide the following:

Blood pressure, weight and heart rate every six months
Have an annual review with an ADHD specialist

For children (under 18), all monitoring will be carried out by your specialist at the recommended time intervals.

All monitoring continues to be carried out by your specialist at the recommended time intervals.

We will not be able to continue to prescribe if you do not attend for this monitoring or annual review.

NHS LOTHIAN SHARED CARE PROTOCOL

Morningside Medical Practice will only continue ADHD if a patient has been stabilised on medication and it follows the NHS Lothian Shared Care Protocol. Please click here for more information.

Morningside Medical Practice will not change the dosage or regime of ADHD medications – this can only be done by an ADHD specialist who will organise the prescription and any necessary follow-up.

If a patient wishes to change their regime of medication, then we would recommend that they speak with their ADHD specialist.
