HELP!!! In London, need SPECIALIST HEALTH CARE CENTRE as GP surgery's are ignoring

2 Replies

my son do not like anyone touching like GP medical checks and due to this he's not visited the doctor for years. Mostly mild symptoms so paracetamol works.

But I am becoming concerned as he's 12years now and still have spoken, cannot do self care. He is a very active boy but that'sit. I do mostly every thing except eating that calms him.

I need help to a specialist hospital, where they will know how to deal with ADHD and help with full health check.

Speak to your GP surgery. The NHS have recently introduced policies for people with learning difficulties to have an annual health care check. If your son needs specialist care intervention they should be obliged to help.

I agree. My teen has a lot of anxiety about leaving the house, so I’ve had a note out in her doctor’s file (I live in the USA), so I won’t get charged for missed appointments because I couldn’t get her there. They approved it without any problems and said I wasn’t the only one with this situation.
