Do I need an ADHD diagnosis before booking titration with Ready Health?
Yes. To begin titration with us you must already hold a recognised private ADHD diagnosis. We are happy to review reports from other private providers, provided the assessment meets recognised clinical standards such as DSM-5 criteria and includes a structured assessment like DIVA-5. Our clinician will review your report before any prescribing takes place to confirm suitability and ensure everything is clinically appropriate.
How much does private ADHD titration cost at Ready Health?
A single titration review appointment is £199. Most patients choose our three-month package of three monthly review appointments for £550, which represents the best value during the active titration phase. Once you are stable on the same medication and dose for three consecutive months, repeat prescriptions cost £49 (no appointment required unless clinically indicated). Medication costs are separate and typically range from around £20 to £150 per month depending on the medication, brand and pharmacy.
Are appointments face-to-face or online?
Both. You can attend in person at our Standish, Wigan clinic, or you can join a secure video appointment from anywhere in the UK. Many of our titration patients choose online appointments for convenience, especially during the active titration phase when reviews are monthly.
How long is each titration appointment?
Every titration review appointment is at least 20 minutes long. This gives the clinician time to review your response, check for side effects, monitor blood pressure and pulse where required, discuss next steps and update your prescription.
How long does ADHD titration usually take?
For most adults, stabilisation is reached in approximately four to six months. Children and adolescents often take longer because we deliberately use a slow and steady approach to ensure safe prescribing and to monitor growth, appetite and sleep carefully. A patient is considered stable once they have been on the same medication and dose for three consecutive months.
Is there a waiting list?
There are currently no waiting times for titration appointments at Ready Health. Once we have reviewed your diagnostic report and confirmed suitability, your initial titration consultation can usually be booked within days.
Do you support shared care with my NHS GP?
Yes. Once you are stable, we actively support transferring prescribing onto a shared care agreement (SCA) with your NHS GP. The SCA setup is £150 (one-off), and follow-up appointments are £99 (typically every six months, with a report sent to your GP after each review). Important: shared care agreements are at the sole discretion of each NHS GP practice. We strongly encourage you to contact your GP practice to confirm whether they will accept a shared care agreement from a private CQC-registered provider before booking and paying for this service.
What happens if my NHS GP declines shared care?
If your GP practice doesn't accept a shared care agreement from a private CQC-registered provider, your ADHD medication management continues privately with Ready Health. You remain under our care for repeat prescriptions (£49 once stable) and clinical reviews as needed, and we still write to your GP to keep them informed.
How do I receive my prescription?
We partner with a UK pharmacy that can dispense and deliver your prescribed medication directly to your home address anywhere in the UK, typically within 24 to 48 hours of payment being received. Alternatively, your private paper prescription can be posted to your home address so you can take it to a pharmacy of your choice.
Do you titrate children and adolescents?
Yes. We offer titration for children and adolescents aged 6 and above who already hold a recognised private ADHD diagnosis. A parent or guardian must be fully involved throughout. Titration in young people is deliberately slower, with careful monitoring of weight, height, appetite, sleep, mood and cardiovascular observations.
