Shared Care success rate is: GP Discretion (standard for private clinics).
A Shared Care Agreement (SCA) allows your NHS GP to take over prescribing your ADHD medication, saving you private drug fees. GPs are not legally obligated to accept private SCAs and may refuse if the provider is not NICE-guideline compliant. This provider's reports are NICE-guideline compliant (GMC/HCPC registered team), which supports the case for shared care.
