As a Practitioner who prescribes ADHD medication, Dr Redwan takes responsibility for ensuring on-going safety monitoring very seriously. He will therefore only be able to prescribe ADHD medication if;
- For the first 5-6 months, you make a follow up appointment with him once a month (or until settled on the right dose),
- After 6 months, (and if settled on the right dose), a follow up appointment is necessary six monthly. You may need to attend more frequently if there are other more pressing needs to consider.
DR EL-KHAYAT IS UNABLE TO PRESCRIBE MEDICATION TO THOSE HE HAS NOT PERSONALLY ASSESSED
Please note Dr El-khayat would also need sight of any previous psychiatric/medical/educational reports. Once a date has been offered, we will send a number of forms to be completed. These need to be returned prior to your appointment.
