Hi all, My son has had a private diagnosis. The GP seems content with this but we need to discuss medication options. The GP mentioned right to choose but this appears to be offering assesments which we already have. How do we find someone that will discuss medication options with the potential to prescribe until the GP takes over? Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for posting. Just came across this post-- sorry you haven’t had a response until now!

You can ask ‘Right to Choose’ providers to confirm whether they accept transfer of care from a previous ADHD diagnosis or whether they require a full reassessment. If you have any updates or more questions about this feel free to post. Below is the Right to Choose Wait times list as a starting point:
