TRANSFER YOUR CARE
At Neuroaffinity, we recognize that situations can change, prompting the need to find a new provider for your care. Whether your diagnosis and treatment were received from an independent provider or through the NHS, we are here to assist you in transferring your care smoothly, allowing you to continue your treatment without undergoing another diagnostic assessment.
Your mental health and well-being are our highest priorities. Whether you’re moving from an independent clinic, seeking a new assessment, or looking for ongoing support, our dedicated administration team is available to offer the guidance you need and to help you schedule an appointment with an appropriate clinician.
There are several reasons to think about transitioning your care to a new provider:

Transferring Your Care: Step-By-Step
Contact Us for Transfer Your Care
If you wish to transfer your care, the first step is to reach out to our friendly admin team. You can contact us by phone or through our online contact form.
Provide Previous ADHD Diagnosis Report
To expedite the process, please provide a written report from your previous provider that includes details about your diagnosis and treatment plan. This report should meet the standards set by NICE guidance. If you cannot access this report immediately, don’t worry; our team can assist you with alternative options.
Additional Documents
If available, please send us any copies of rating scales or questionnaires that you submitted to your previous specialist. We will also send you some new ADHD questionnaires to complete, which will include information about your current and past physical and mental health, as well as any medications you are taking.
Schedule a Medication Review Appointment
Once we have the necessary information, we will arrange a one-hour medication review appointment. During this appointment, we will review your previous diagnosis and treatment plan to ensure a smooth continuation of care.
Continuation of Treatment
Following the medication review appointment, you will transition seamlessly into a regular schedule of follow-up appointments. This will help us monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, and provide ongoing support.
Shared Care Agreement
We will aim to establish a shared care agreement with your NHS GP as soon as possible. While not all GPs may accept these agreements, most do cooperate. We strongly encourage you to discuss your treatment with your GP early on and explore the possibility of shared care. If your GP agrees to this, you will continue seeing your ADHD specialist clinician, but prescriptions will be issued by your GP through the NHS, helping you avoid private medication costs at the pharmacy.

NICE Guidelines for Assessment and Diagnosis
At Neuroaffinity, we strictly adhere to NICE guidelines regarding your assessment and diagnostic process. If the information provided about your previous diagnosis does not align with the recommended process by NICE, we will be unable to accept the transfer of your care for treatment. In such cases, we will ensure to keep you fully informed before your appointment and will make every effort to contact your previous clinician in advance, provided you give your consent.
What If a Medication Review Appointment Isn’t Possible?
We understand that obtaining a written report from your previous provider may not always be possible. In such cases, we encourage you to reach out to us. Our admin team will arrange a re-assessment to collect the necessary information and ensure that your treatment journey continues smoothly.
