About This Service

At Makewell Health and Wellness Clinic in Milton Keynes, we celebrate neurodiversity and provide inclusive, compassionate, and evidence-based ADHD care.

Our prescribing and titration service is available for anyone with a formal ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnosis who would like to start, adjust, or continue medication as part of their wellbeing journey.

Whether you were assessed at Makewell or elsewhere, our specialist team will support you with a safe, structured, and person-centred medication pathway.

We know that every brain is unique, and ADHD is just one part of who you are. Our prescribers focus on your strengths, lifestyle, and goals when exploring medication options.

  • All treatment follows NICE guidelines and current best practices in ADHD care.
  • Our process is collaborative and trauma-informed – you are the expert in your own experience.
  • We provide the information, tools, and support you need to make empowered decisions about your health.

If you’re new to our prescribing service, here’s how it works:

  • Provide your diagnostic report – we’ll need a copy of your ADHD assessment.
  • Book an initial consultation – a 1-hour session with a prescriber, either onsite in Milton Keynes or online.
  • Agree a treatment plan together – if medication is suitable, we can issue a private prescription.

Prescriptions can be filled at most UK pharmacies. If you’re local, you may be able to use our onsite pharmacy. For those further away, we can post prescriptions securely via recorded delivery.

Finding the right medication and dosage is a journey – and we’re with you every step.

  • Direct access to your prescriber – email for questions, updates, or concerns.
  • First review – usually 4 weeks after starting, lasting 30 minutes (online or in person).
  • Titration process – adjusting type and dose until you find what works best. Most people need around 3 reviews to reach a stable plan.

When your treatment is stable, we can write to your GP to request a Shared Care Agreement, so your prescriptions can be managed by the NHS.

  • Not all GPs accept shared care, so check early in your journey.
  • If shared care isn’t available, we can continue prescribing privately (£50 per prescription).

Even under NHS prescribing, specialist reviews remain essential:

  • Adults: annually
  • Children & young people: every 6 months

To make sure medication is safe for you, we’ll need:

  • A copy of your diagnostic report
  • Height, weight, and blood pressure readings (done at Makewell, your GP, local pharmacy, or at home)
  • Occasionally, an ECG may also be recommended before starting

At Makewell, we:

  • Celebrate neurodivergence and see ADHD as part of a diverse spectrum of thinking.
  • Offer clear, calm, and empowering care at every stage of your journey.
  • Provide flexible in-person or online appointments with experienced prescribers.

“From about 8 years old, my daughter struggled with huge intense feelings. There have been some dark moments and the whole family have suffered. When we received her diagnosis for ADHD, we were relieved to have a new avenue of treatment and started to see a positive way to move forward. Unfortunately it wasn’t as straightforward as we thought and the emotional rollercoaster continued with raised hopes being dashed again. It wasn’t until we booked in at Makewell, the practitioner really took the time to connect all the dots and put the jigsaw pieces together. The practitioner listened carefully and gave thoughtful and considered suggestions. Within a surprisingly short period of time, we had our daughter back. After five years of heartbreak. The difference was night and day. We will forever be grateful.”

Appointments can be in person or online, depending on your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have been diagnosed at Makewell?

No. Our prescribing and titration service is available for anyone with a formal ADHD diagnosis, whether assessed at Makewell or elsewhere.

Can I get my prescription on the NHS?

When your treatment is stable, we can write to your GP to request a Shared Care Agreement so your prescriptions can be managed by the NHS. Not all GPs accept shared care, so it’s worth checking early.

How many reviews will I need?

Most people need around 3 reviews to reach a stable medication plan. Reviews are typically every 4 weeks during titration.

If you were diagnosed with ADHD as a child and are now seeking an updated diagnosis as an adult:

Adult Diagnostic Review and Medication Consultation – £495 (2 hours)

If you were diagnosed with ADHD as a child and are now seeking an updated diagnosis as an adult, along with the possibility of starting medication, this model is designed for you.

The session is split into two parts:

30 minute QB Test
1.5 Adult Diagnostic Review and Medication Consultation

This appointment includes a mental health review, allowing us to provide an updated adult diagnosis and where appropriate, begin medication.

Why is this needed?

Current clinical guidelines require that adults with a childhood ADHD diagnosis undergo a review to assess how their symptoms present and impact them in adulthood and to confirm the diagnosis accordingly.

What happens next?

Following this appointment, most people will need at least two further medication reviews to monitor how the medication is working and make any necessary adjustments. These follow-up reviews are 30 minutes each, at £250 per session.

This can be in-person or online appointments.

Can I attend appointments online?

Yes. We offer flexible in-person or online appointments with experienced prescribers.

What safety checks are needed before starting medication?

We’ll need a copy of your diagnostic report, height, weight, and blood pressure readings. Occasionally an ECG may also be recommended.
