GPs willing to undertake training will be able to resupply ADHD medication to their patients from September.
To support the rollout GPs are being asked to express their interest in undertaking the necessary training by completing an EOI form on the NSW Health website. Once training is completed, GPs will be able to manage resupply prescriptions without needing a formal arrangement with a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
The initial rollout will prioritise children on stable doses of medication to ensure early and consistent access to care. Further training to enable GPs to diagnose and initiate medication will begin by the end of the year.
