ADHD Certify has partnered with a single nominated pharmacy for issuing our medications due to a Service Level Agreement (SLA) we have in place with GDP Pharmacy. This SLA ensures the safe and consistent issuing of medications, along with thorough auditing and tracking processes. Additionally, by standardising the process with one pharmacy, we maintain high levels of quality control, reduce the risk of errors, and provide a streamlined experience for our patients. This arrangement allows us to meet regulatory requirements more effectively while ensuring that patients medications are reliably and securely managed.
Once we’ve stabilised you on your medication, we’ll write to your GP to provide an explanation of your treatment journey with us and request their acceptance of a Shared Care Agreement. This agreement outlines the responsibilities of both parties in managing your ADHD medication.
It’s important to note that your GP has the legal right to refuse acceptance of a Shared Care Agreement. This refusal may stem from various reasons, including limitations within their GP contract with the NHS. GP’s are legally entitled to refuse shared care agreements from any specialist whether that be NHS Specialists or Private Specialists.
