Children’s Services and Adult
We are a non-emergency post-diagnostic prescribing service only. This means we can only provide a service to children and young people once they have a confirmed and approved diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and require medication treatment.
We do not operate a general enquiries phone line or email address due to being a small service.
For children, young people and families open to the service, or professionals, they can fill the following form in: ADHD Intervention Request for Contact Form. However, you may not get a response for up to 2 weeks due to service capacity.
Should you be concerned about your child’s mental health please get in touch with mental health services, please go to the service page for Contact Point on the Connect website for further details on how to request routine and out of hours mental health support.

Self-referrals can be made to Early Help for family support.
If a child or young person is not suitable for medication or they and their families do not wish for medication treatment, then we are unable to hold them open to the service. We are looking to develop our service to provide psychological treatment however this is not currently available.
We want young people to access the right support, at the right time.
We carefully consider each referral and will offer young people access to a service that best meets their needs. This may be a service from another provider. All the services we signpost to offer evidence-based treatments provided by trained professionals.
We are a small multi-disciplinary team of specialist doctors, nursing non-medical prescribers, pharmacists, a specialist nurse, a CBT therapist and administrative staff. We work closely with CAMHS services and children neurodevelopmental assessment services.
Our service will consider children and young people who have had a private assessment of ADHD and have been diagnosed.
We require any requests to the service to be accompanied by the full diagnostic report. Our service will then add the child and young person to a waiting list for our multi-disciplinary team to review the quality of the assessment. This is to ensure that the assessment meets the full diagnostic criteria and quality we would expect to provide a treatment option if appropriate.
We can decline private diagnoses if they do not meet the required standards.
Due to significant demand for our service over recent years, combined with year long medication shortages in ADHD medications, internationally, we are unable to commit to waiting times for medication treatment to start due to the additional waiting times these challenges have created. Parents/carers are updated with dates via Accurx message (Text). As a team we are unable to discuss this further.
Our team consists of Specialist Nurses, Non-medical prescribers, doctors, pharmacists, admin and a CBT therapist.
We also work closely with other Humber teams and professionals such as Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language therapists, and clinical psychologists.
