A shared care agreement (SCA) is an arrangement where a specialist (private or NHS) diagnoses and stabilises your ADHD medication, then your GP takes over ongoing prescribing. Most GPs accept SCAs, but some refuse — particularly for privately diagnosed patients. If your GP refuses, you can request they document the refusal and you can complain to the ICB or seek another GP.
