Is shared care guaranteed?

No. Acceptance of a Shared Care Agreement is at your GP’s discretion. Some GPs accept routinely; others have practice or local policies that limit shared care for ADHD medication.

Before you book

It is worth asking your GP practice in advance whether they accept shared care for ADHD medication. A short call to reception can save time later.

If your GP declines

Private prescribing through Lighthouse Pathways continues. You receive your medication on private prescription, paid to the pharmacy directly. See If your GP declines shared care for full details and Private prescription costs explained for cost expectations.
