ADHD meds and moving county

[C0tt0nS33d]

Anybody know where you find info about this as I’m struggling. It seems to be really unclear and I don’t get why.

Son has an NHS diagnosis but his GP refused shared care so the NHS dept that diagnosed him send it to the pharmacy every month. He is on the list for psychotherapy with them which he wants
to do.

Has moved to uni and is terrified of signing on to a GP as doesn’t want to lose his meds.

How does he get his meds in a different county if GPs don’t do shared care? Can he get a new gp in his uni county but stay on with his adhd dep in his home county?

It’s madness that there is no consistency or clarity.

Yes, angry for people with ADHD rather than angry with GPs - they have been shouldering ever more specialist roles without added resource but I hope that will get sorted. (I also despair at the low staff numbers at these ADHD services which have 5 year waiting lists, it's unacceptable and NHS commissioning needs to resolve the gap).
