Thank you for your patience this week - we know it is hugely disappointing when you cannot get through on the phone/online form or when your appointment is rescheduled. It has been a challenging week ensuring the safety of our patients and staff. We have worked as hard as we can to see as many patients as possible while offering high quality care. We wish our staff that have been unwell this week a speedy recovery and a restful weekend. We shall take this opportunity to share this Google review about Tang Hall Lane surgery on #feedbackfriday, it really does lift the teams to see positive reviews. If you think a team member put you at ease, offered you high level care or went above and beyond, do think about sending in a Google review or completing our Friends and Family test. https://www.priorymedical.com/contact-us/ “Fab service from this surgery. I'm a patient with Heworth green normally. Had a fairly urgent issue, not only did they get me seen on the day yesterday, both the dr and the receptionist were lovely. Very professional and personable” PMG partners

ADHD referrals
ADHD referrals
Adults (aged 18+) requesting NHS referral will be asked to complete an online form called the DoItProfiler. This goes through a series of questions to help determine if you might have ADHD and what support you might benefit from
Parents and carers of children aged 5+ can self refer to children’s mental health services (CAMHS) by phone 0300 013 4778 or email tewv.northyorkshirecamhsreferrals@nhs.net
For more information about the referral process click here to see York Send website or visit the TEWV CAMHS website.
Right to Choose
Many patients/parents come to us to ask about the Right to Choose (RtC) process, particularly around ADHD referrals due to very long waiting lists in York. Patients can use this pathway if they fulfil local criteria for an NHS referral to the ADHD clinic and would like to choose a different provider.
Not all RtC providers are able to offer a full assessment and initiation and ongoing prescribing of medications. If you opt to use a RtC provider rather than the local NHS service, we will not be able to take over prescribing of any specialist medication on a private shared care bases. We are happy to refer you on to adult or child mental health services locally to see if they can continue or commence specialist medication (there may be long waits for this).
ADHD UK lists the approved providers, their waiting list and whether medication will be prescribed. We are not able to recommend specific, private RtC providers.
