Hello
My daughter has received a private diagnosis of ADHD. Does anyone know of a private online centre that can precibe them without having to do their own diagnosis?

The place we used that they recommended has a super long waiting list.

If they are qualified to diagnose, surely they are qualified to do a private prescription?

Seems a very odd way of doing things as the psychiatrist should be keeping track of them starting medication and do all follow-ups.

We did a private diagnosis and DD now on shared care, but all 6 month follow-ups will be with the private psychiatrist not with the NHS.

We went initially for ASD diagnosis. It is Autism North East. For some reason they don't prescribe.

Guess not then.
Is it really about the money?
