12 Month Prescribing: Will Kowhai Surgery be doing 12 month prescribing?
Not necessarily because every person’s health is different. It depends on your health situation, the medicines you take, and how stable your condition is. Your GP will decide with you what’s safe and appropriate. Some people will still need shorter prescriptions so that their health can be checked more often. It’s about finding the safest option for you, not applying one rule for everyone.
We will be discussing your scripts with you and making a plan that is safe and appropriate to your requirements and health needs.
ADHD Medications
Kowhai Surgery: ADHD prescribing and initiating guidelines.
*New national guidelines allow trained GPs/NPs to diagnose and initiate ADHD stimulant treatment for adults from 1 February 2026.
*We will support you to find the correct service to do assessments and initiate ADHD medication if indicated.
*Our practice will not be undertaking initial ADHD assessments or starting on ADHD medications.
Our process is to book an appointment with Doctor, discuss concerns then, refer as indicated.
Rationale:
It is not a funded service. Hence, the cost will be no different to any other private service.
The assessment process requires 1-2 hours of dedicated clinician time.
Significant specialised training is required to meet the new clinical standards.
Current staffing levels and service demand do not allow safe delivery of this extended service.
We will continue to provide repeat prescriptions for patients who:
*Have been assessed by an appropriate specialist or trained prescriber, and
*Are stable on their current ADHD medication regimen.
*Our focus remains on safe, responsible prescribing and ensuring patients receive care that meets best-practice clinical requirements.
*Patients seeking an initial ADHD assessment should continue to access specialist services or trained ADHD assessment providers
