Our in house medication service is led by an NMC Registered Nurse Prescriber with expertise in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and sleep difficulties.
Within medical research, medication for ADHD has proven effective for 70-80% of clients.
Mrs Sarah Parkin, our Nurse Prescriber, is able to explore with clients whether there are any medication options that may support their current pattern of difficulties. She will discuss with you the medication options available and if appropriate, she will provide you with a prescription that can be dispensed at any pharmacy. Medication monitoring review appointments will be carried out to ensure medical safety. Please note private prescriptions incur a cost of the medication plus a dispensing fee at the pharmacy which is outside of our control.
We are happy to see clients who have received a diagnosis outside of Enhancing Futures. Please contact us for more details.

We take a stepped approach to our support of clients with sleep difficulties.
Initially we ask that clients have watched our sleep hygiene video resource and worked to implement any appropriate changes to their sleep hygiene based on that.
This can be followed up with our Sleep Support Package which involve 2 telephone contacts with our Nurse Prescriber, within which we can work with you to troubleshoot your current sleep situation and implement changes. You will be asked to monitor your sleep using sleep diaries during this time.
Following completion of our Sleep Support Package, it may be appropriate to then provide medication support in respect of sleep, if lower level support has proven unsuccessful.
Our Nurse Prescriber will work with you to find an appropriate sleep support medicine, at the correct dosage to aid your situation if this is the case.

Please note: Medicines to support sleep such as Melatonin, are only available by prescription in the UK under guidance of a secondary care provider.
Supplements sold as complementary medicines for sleep are not authorised for sale in the UK and ordering melatonin online is not recommended. If you are advised to cease online purchased sleep products due to safety concerns, and continue to act against medical professional guidance in this regard, this may constitute grounds for a safeguarding referral. This is due to the dangers of safe dosage and medication safety in children and adults.
Please see the NHS website for more information on this and the dangers of buying medicines such as Melatonin online: Melatonin: a hormone used for sleep problems - NHS.
