A new children and young persons ADHD service is starting on the Isle of Wight.
The CCG has been working with the Isle of Wight NHS Trust for a number of months to review ADHD services for children and young people on the Island.
To ensure a high-quality service remains in place, it was agreed to commission a new healthcare provider to take over from the Trust.
New provider Psicon, who have been providing children’s autism services on the Island since 2018, is a specialist in the assessment and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD.
The Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) have commissioned the specialist service.
Alison Smith, Managing Director of the CCG, said:
“We are pleased to announce Psicon will be delivering children and young peoples’ ADHD services.
“Our priority is always to ensure any service we set up is as safe and effective as possible, and that families continue to have access to vital care and support they need, here on the Island.
“We want to reassure families that if they have an existing appointment with the service to please continue to attend this at St Mary’s Hospital.
“We are working closely with the Trust and Psicon to ensure there is a safe and efficient transfer with no gaps in service for families.”
Children and young people under the care of the Trust’s ADHD service, including those on a waiting list will be transferred to Psicon and the NHS has written to families directly.
Families have been advised that if they already have a confirmed appointment date then they should attend this as planned in the paediatric outpatient department at St Mary’s Hospital unless contacted to reschedule this.
