ADHD Services
Hi. We’re Vertis Health.
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 ADHD Assessment and Review Services.
You may be referred to us by your GP, or you may choose to access our services via the Right to Choose pathway.
We’re proud to offer a patient-focused, GP-led service that’s designed to help Worcestershire’s patients get the care they need, when they need it.
ADHD Reviews
Our ADHD Annual Reviews Service is funded by NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire, and is designed to help patients receive annual medication review on the NHS.
Following a pre-appointment questionnaire, you’ll have a telephone consultation with one of our specialist clinicians. They’ll be able to make sure your medication is still working as it should be, and ensure your medication can continue to be prescribed.
If you’re currently being treated by a private provider, this service is designed to help support your transition into Shared Care, allowing your treatment for ADHD to be provided by the NHS.
Accessing this service
You’ll be referred to this service by your GP practice if your GP believes this is the best course of action for your annual reviews.
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.
Right to Choose Assessment Service
Our ADHD Right to Choose service is an online and in-person servive, aiming to provide you with the best possible pathway for your care. We understand that every individual has different needs, which is why we offer multiple appointment types.
Currently, under Right to Choose, only adults can be referred. Children and adolescents can be referred into the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) via school or GP referral.
