If a Dr gets diagnosed with ADHD do they have to inform the GMC, I have a colleague who is reluctant to be assessed if so?

The issue with “shared care” is that care is shared ongoing. Most clinics discharged once diagnosis made and gp is not funded for the monitoring nor have capacity for nursing time for ecg, blood pressure monitoring outside of qof. This is outside our contract and remit. And medication is specialist initiated on APC guidance there we can’t/don’t initiate. Patients should remain under consultant care and have annual review if shared care and this isnt happening in most areas.

Recently struggling with large numbers of adult patients requesting ADHD assessments. Due to wait time on NHS of a year or so (at least in my area), many are seeking private diagnoses (some are questionable clinics) and then becoming unhappy when us as GPs do not agree to shared care agreements for the medication so they have to pay for on private prescription. Do you have any thoughts on this and how we can support patients?
