ADHD Psychiatric Care Delivered Through Shared Care
ADHD rarely exists in isolation. I provide specialist psychiatric care for ADHD and its common comorbidities, delivered through shared care plans that coordinate clinicians, supports, and settings into one clear pathway.
ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that often requires coordinated care across medical, psychological, and functional domains. As an ADHD psychiatrist with a focus on shared care, I work closely with general practitioners and multidisciplinary teams to deliver collaborative ADHD care that is safe, consistent, and responsive to comorbid conditions.
Why ADHD Requires a Shared Care Approach
ADHD commonly intersects with anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep disturbance, and functional impairment at work, study, and home. When care is fragmented, patients can receive mixed messages, repeated assessments, and delayed progress.
My approach places shared care plans at the centre of ADHD treatment—so the team is aligned on goals, responsibilities, monitoring, and next steps.
ADHD and Common Comorbidities
ADHD may be accompanied by co-occurring symptoms or conditions that affect treatment response and everyday function. Care is tailored to complexity and prioritises safety, clarity, and continuity.
- ADHD (inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and executive dysfunction)
- Anxiety disorders and emotional dysregulation
- Depression and mood instability
- Sleep disturbance
- Neurodevelopmental differences
- Functional impairment at work, study, or home
Collaborative Care for ADHD
Effective ADHD care often requires coordination across disciplines. Collaborative care means roles are clear and communication is structured rather than ad hoc.
- Specialist psychiatric assessment and treatment planning
- Medication optimisation with clear monitoring and review plans
- Coordination with GPs, psychologists, coaches, or occupational therapists
- Measurement-based care and regular follow-up
- Clear documentation that supports continuity and safety
How Shared Care Plans Support ADHD Treatment
A shared care plan is a structured summary that aligns the care team on diagnosis, goals, roles, treatment actions, monitoring measures, and escalation pathways—so care remains unified even when providers work across different clinics or systems.
Shared care plans reduce duplication, improve continuity, and support safer long-term ADHD treatment.
ADHD Care for Patients, GPs, and Organisations
For patients
You experience one coherent treatment plan rather than disconnected opinions, with a focus on both symptoms and real-world function.
For GPs and referring clinicians
Shared care plans provide clarity around roles, responsibilities, and follow-up—reducing risk and duplication while supporting safe prescribing and continuity.
For employers and organisations
Coordinated ADHD care supports earlier stabilisation and improved function, reducing workplace disruption compared with fragmented pathways.
