Having been on the wait list for the local ngs team for almost 2 years myself.. And to have witnessed the woefully inadequate care my husband received for the same Neurodevelopmental issues from said local adhd clinic. I am beyond grateful to the puk team and the patients right to choose. Your dedication to your patients, timely and efficient communication, knowledgeable advice re medication options (all things that were absolutely not the case during my husbands nhs treatment) made my titration period a stress free as possible. I felt heard and listened to with any and all concerns I had and nothing seemed to an issue to resolve one way or another. I cannot stress how massively positive it has been for myself and my whole family for me to finally have a diagnosis and be medicated adequately for my adhd. It has literally changed my life. It has also made me realise my own strengths much more than before after a whole life spent feeling like nothing I did was ever good enough, and that I'd never make the best of my talents and strengths due to cripplingly restricted executive function. It has also given me the confidence to fully advocate for our son who has all the signs of adhd himself. I refuse to let him go through life like he's stuck in quicksand as his peers sail through everything, that was my lived experience and I will make sure he has better opportunities to find ways to manage his own ups and downs that adhd brings. Thank you.
