Understanding your treatment pathway
ADHD Medication Titration Pathway
Our ADHD Medication Titration Pathway provides clinical support for up to 6 months following the commencement of ADHD medication.
During this period, your child will receive ongoing clinical monitoring and review to assess their response to medication, monitor for any side effects and make adjustments where clinically appropriate, with the aim of achieving a safe, effective and stable treatment plan.
The number and frequency of appointments will depend on your child's individual clinical needs and response to treatment.
Appointments may be offered through a combination of face-to-face and video consultations. Your clinician will determine the most appropriate format based on your child's needs and any risks identified through clinical assessment.
Following an ADHD diagnosis, families wishing to proceed with medication are advised to commence treatment within 3 months of the original assessment. Where more than 3 months have elapsed, a further clinical reassessment may be required before treatment can begin.
Anxiety & Mental Health Symptom Management Pathway
Our Anxiety & Mental Health Symptom Management Pathway is designed for children and young people who require ongoing clinical support and management of anxiety or other mental health symptoms.
The pathway provides clinical review and monitoring for up to 6 months, allowing us to assess changes in symptoms, monitor treatment response and any potential side effects, and make adjustments to the treatment plan where clinically appropriate.
The frequency and number of appointments will be guided by individual clinical needs.
Appointments may take place through a combination of face-to-face and video consultations, depending on clinical presentation, individual needs and the outcome of clinical risk assessments.
Ongoing Care & Stable Maintenance
Once your child's treatment has become stable, ongoing maintenance reviews will usually take place every 6 months, or sooner where clinically indicated.
The timing, frequency and format of these reviews will be determined by the treating clinician, taking into consideration your child's clinical needs, treatment response and any identified risks.
Maintenance appointments may be conducted face-to-face or by video consultation. We would normally expect at least one review to take place face-to-face, although more frequent face-to-face appointments may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
These reviews are an important part of ongoing care and allow the clinician to monitor:
- Your child's ongoing response to treatment.
- The effectiveness and suitability of prescribed medication.
- Any side effects or concerns relating to treatment.
- Changes in symptoms or clinical needs.
- Whether any adjustments to the treatment plan are required.
Shared Care Arrangements
Where clinically appropriate, Healthcare4Kids may consider requesting a shared care arrangement with your child's GP.
Shared care allows certain aspects of prescribing and monitoring to be undertaken by the GP in collaboration with the specialist clinician. However, acceptance of shared care is entirely at the discretion of the GP and cannot be guaranteed.
If a GP is unable to accept shared care, ongoing private prescribing, clinical monitoring and review arrangements may be required to ensure continuity of treatment.
Attendance, Engagement & Continuity of Care
Regular attendance at scheduled appointments and engagement with the recommended treatment and monitoring plan are essential to ensure your child's safety and the effective management of their treatment.
Where a patient repeatedly fails to attend scheduled appointments, does not engage with necessary clinical reviews or does not attend appointments considered essential for ongoing monitoring, Healthcare4Kids reserves the right to pause treatment, including prescribing and medication titration, where clinically necessary to maintain patient safety.
In such circumstances, the treating clinician will consider the individual clinical circumstances and any potential risks associated with continuing treatment without appropriate monitoring.
Where ongoing engagement and clinical oversight cannot be maintained, Healthcare4Kids reserves the right to discharge the patient from the service. This decision will be made following consideration of the patient's clinical needs and safety, with appropriate advice regarding alternative care arrangements or onward referral where necessary.
It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to ensure that appointments are attended and that any difficulties with attending are communicated to the Healthcare4Kids team as early as possible.
Private Medication Costs
Please note that medication costs are separate from assessment fees, treatment pathways and maintenance reviews.
Where medication is prescribed privately, the dispensing pharmacy will charge separately for the prescribed medication. Costs will vary depending on the medication, dosage and pharmacy used.
Families will be responsible for these medication costs in addition to any applicable clinical fees.

General, dyspraxia and symptom control appointments require full payment at booking. Reviews must be paid at least two working days before the appointment.
Can I spread the cost?
Instalment plans are available at no extra charge, with monthly amounts agreed with the clinic. Combined and adopted child assessments must still be paid in full at least four weeks before the appointment.
How can I pay?
We accept BACS, cash and credit or debit cards, excluding American Express.
Can I use medical insurance?
The clinic accepts self-funded patients only and does not receive payments directly from insurers. Some insurers may reimburse you: confirm your cover with them before booking. You remain responsible for paying the clinic on time, and we can provide a receipt once payment is complete.
