Adult ADHD

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a request to my Practice?

To make a request to your Practice select the service that you require.

You will be prompted for information about your request. When you complete a request this will be sent to your practice. The system acknowledges that your request has been sent and will let you know what happens next.

The Practice handles the requests during their normal working day, i.e. if you send a request on Friday pm the Practice won’t normally see it until Monday morning.

How do I receive the responses from the Practice?

On some services, such as Ask the Practice a question and Ask the Doctor a question once the Practice has processed your request they will send you a response. This response will be sent to the email address that you have given in the form.

For security purposes the email will ask that you verify your identification. Once you have completed this the message from the surgery will be shown for you to read.

Security of your information

This service always uses fully encrypted connections, the same security as used in internet banking. If you look at the right of the address bar, you will see a small padlock icon. This indicates that you are using a secure link and that your data is encrypted.

As an additional measure your information is held encrypted until the practice need to view it. It is then sent to the practice still encrypted and only converted to readable text at the practice.

Adult ADHD referrals

Montgomery-House Surgery is not able to provide comprehensive NHS services for adults with ADHD.

National guidance expects long term involvement of specialists in reviewing these patients and their medical treatment, but this does not currently happen in Oxfordshire.

Therefore the practice has taken the difficult decision that any new requests from specialists, both NHS and private, to prescribe ADHD medications to adult patients will be declined. We will also be making this clear to providers of ADHD services at the point we refer patients for a diagnostic assessment. Care of adults already receiving ADHD treatments remains under careful review. Patients may be able to access the care they need outside of the NHS, for instance by seeking a referral to a private provider from their NHS GP or NHS specialist. As your NHS GP, we will not enter into ‘shared care’ arrangements with private providers.

Patients should not be left without the care they need, due to a lack of comprehensive NHS funding, and our local representatives have raised this issue with local funding and decision-making groups. If you also wish to raise this issue, you may want to contact the Planned Care team at BOB ICB, bobicb.plannedcare@nhs.net, and/or your MP.
