ADHD Medication Policy

 

Changes to GP prescribing of ADHD medication

In Suffolk and north east Essex

With effect from 6th June 2025 we will no longer accept any new shared care requests for ADHD medication and will transfer over any existing arrangements with current patients on ADHD medication.

  • The new ADHD prescribing and monitoring service will be provided by the GP Fed who will be in contact with patients that have already been notified to them.
  • The Fed ADHD medication service can be contacted on 01473 372948 or by email on sgpfed.adhd@nhs.net
  • Some GP practices will stop prescribing ADHD medications for their patients.   
  • This system is currently putting in place new arrangements for the FED to provide the monitoring and provision of ADHD medication to patients on behalf of NSFT. More details to follow on how this will work.
