If you’re concerned about your child’s behaviour and suspect ADHD, the first step is to speak with your GP. PrimaHealth’s ADHD services are exclusively accessed via GP referral, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Step 1: Initial GP Visit:
    Discuss your child’s symptoms with your GP. They will perform standard medical checks and, if appropriate, provide a referral to PrimaHealth.
  • Step 2: Referral Submission:
    Your GP submits the referral directly to PrimaHealth, initiating our comprehensive ADHD assessment pathway.
  • Step 3: Pre-Screening Consultation:
    Our Care Coordinator will contact you to discuss your child’s needs and guide you through the next steps.

At PrimaHealth, we’re committed to providing clear communication and expert care at every stage.

Why Choose PrimaHealth?

Our psychiatry-led, multidisciplinary approach ensures that your child receives thorough and personalised ADHD care.
