There has been unprecedented demand for ADHD diagnosis and treatment nationally and locally across all age groups. There is not enough capacity within the system to carry out these assessments. In addition to the demand, there are difficulties in supply of ADHD medication with national advice not to initiate many of the ADHD medication treatment. With such a significant mismatch in capacity and demand there is an urgent need to prioritise complex and at-risk patients. With this in mind, we would be grateful if you could review these useful websites for practical support on ADHD.

Gynae Rapid Access Clinic - Patient Information
Your GP has requested an appointment for you at our gynaecology rapid access clinic. This is because they have concerns about your symptoms, and/or an unusual finding on your ultrasound scan, and would like you to have further tests.
In the clinic you will see a gynaecologist through the ‘two-week wait’ appointments system. This NHS system is designed to make sure that patients with symptoms that may be caused by a cancer are seen quickly by a specialist team.
