Luke Bradford: Royal College of GP's Medical Director on softening access to ADHD treatment

Assessment processes will still be rigorous for prescribing ADHD medication.  From February, GPs and nurse practitioners will be able to prescribe treatments from the outset without a specialist recommendation.   Wait times for specialist appointments vary but can be over a year.   Royal College of GPs medical director Dr. Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking it's a good move to help people access diagnoses more quickly and affordably.   He says it will be under a specialist interest type GP who will have to up-skill through training courses to prescribe.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
