Welcome to the ADHD Annual Review Service
Hi. We’re Vertis Health.
You’ve been referred to us because you’re due for a medication review for your NHS ADHD treatment, and we’re here to help.
We’re Worcestershire’s local GP federation - which means we run NHS services on behalf of GPs and other providers in the local area, including this one. Here, you’ll find all the information you need - including what to expect as part of your annual review, and what you’ll need to do to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Your pre-assessment questionnaire.
If you’ve just received a message telling you that you’ve been referred into the service - great! Welcome aboard. That means we’re processing your details and will soon be in touch via SMS with some questions about your current health status, and how you’re getting on with your medication.
You’ll receive a series of messages asking you different questions - including one for pulse, one for blood pressure, and one for a detailed pre-assessment questionnaire.
Please make sure you answer all of these fully so you can get the best from your appointment.
If you’re unable to receive text messages, please let us know using the button below.
Pulse and blood pressure testing.
You’ll need to provide us with a pulse and blood pressure reading as part of your pre-assessment. You can do this in one of two ways:
Visit a local pharmacy: Most NHS pharmacies will test your blood pressure and pulse for free. You can check whether your local pharmacy offers this service - or find one that does - by clicking here.
Self-test at home: If you have a blood pressure testing machine at home, you can use this. Please test three times, and send us your average reading.
What happens after I submit my questionnaire?
Once you submit your questionnaire, it will be reviewed by a member of our clinical team. If they need to conduct any further tests (such as an ECG), they may invite you for a checkup at our office in Crabbs Cross to make sure everything’s okay.
Otherwise, you’ll be invited for a video appointment with one of our specialist clinicians. They’ll ask you a series of questions to make sure you’re doing well, and to confirm whether you need any changes to your treatment.
If you need to change medications, they’ll discuss this with you and, if appropriate, put in place a titration plan.
Reminders and Cancellations
You will receive text reminders 3 days and 24 hours before your appointment. Please check these carefully and cancel or reschedule if you cannot attend.
If you need to cancel or reschedule:
Call us on [Insert ADHD Phone Number]
Or… TK
Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Late cancellations or missed appointments may lead to delays in your treatment.
If you cancel or reschedule in time, we’ll offer you one rebooked appointment.
If you miss your appointment without notice, we will:
Notify your GP
Record it as a “Did Not Attend” (DNA)
You may not be rebooked unless your GP refers you again
Missed appointments reduce availability for others and delay care. Your ADHD review is a vital part of keeping your treatment safe and effective.
