Jenny was the prescribing nurse who dealt with my adult ADHD medication following diagnosis.
Jenny was very helpful with the many questions I had about medication, prescribing, side effects etc, was supportive and encouraging during titration, and went out of her way to help.
Jenny (and Psychiatry UK in general) has provided an excellent service, so what I expected to be a stressful or worrying process has instead been really positive!
Amazing nurse. Shes extremely kind, and I felt totally looked after and listened to.
Jenny was great with feedback on my ADHD medication titration and gave advice on side effects.
Jenny was my nurse and main point of contact at Psychiatry UK (that I also highly recommend as a clinic, by the way!) between March and June 2019.
Jenny has been very attentive, understanding and flexible, which is extremely important when you are in the process of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. In my opinion, when it comes to working out the best medication and dosage, it is key to have a knowledgable and understanding expert by your side. I certainly felt that Jenny was there for me and I could ask her absolutely any question. She was quick to respond and I felt supported throughout the entire process.
Thank you so much for all your help, Jenny!
