How to Get Prescribed ADHD Medication Privately in the UK – Fast, Safe, and Legally Compliant

Tired of Waiting Years for NHS ADHD Treatment? You’re Not Alone.

With Focus Gently, you can be seen in under 2 weeks and begin treatment legally and safely via a structured private pathway—led by Nurse Independent Prescribers and aligned with NICE Guidelines.

You can:

  • Self-refer

  • Book directly with a regulated clinician

  • Receive a compliant prescription through our secure platform

At Focus Gently, our Nurse Prescribers operate under NMC regulation, and we follow NICE Guideline NG87 for every prescribing decision.
