This is an optional appointment for anyone who has been diagnosed at S E I K Psychiatry, and would like to find out about the recommended support options. Support may be medical (prescribed medication), therapeutic, functional, behavioural, or work / university / school based. This appointment will be booked with either the psychiatrist, mental health nurse, or psychologist depending on which kind of support you choose to pursue and the psychiatrist's recommendations. The practitioner will use the appointment to talk you through your support plan and answer any queries you have. We recommend that you speak with your GP if you are hoping to move or share your care with the NHS. Fees: Nurse: £100.00 Psychiatrist: £160.00 Length: < 30 minutes

Support is booked and paid as a pay as you go basis. Medical Support Medical Support is the titration and ongoing monitoring of prescribed medications. Titration is the process used to find the right dosage of medication. It can take a few months to reach the right dosage, depending on your individual response to the medication. Once your dose is stable, you can have repeat prescriptions, and / or discuss with your GP whether they can help take over or share your medical support. You may be asked to provide some physical measurements such as blood pressure, pulse, height and weight before medication can be prescribed. Often, these measurements are needed every month. On some occasions, other tests may be required such as blood tests or an ECG. Fees: Nurse: £100.00 Psychiatrist: £160.00 Repeat Prescription: £25.00* Medication: S E I K Psychiatry does not dispense medication. Medication costs need to be checked with the pharmacy. We recommend budgeting for one appointment per month, for the first few months of medical support. This can vary depending on your individual response to the medication. Once your dose is stable, you may be able to have up to 3 repeat prescriptions before needing another review. Alternatively, if your GP has agreed to take over or share care, you will be able to get your prescriptions via the NHS. Depending on the GP’s regulations, you may still need a review every 6-12 months with a private practitioner. *Repeat prescription bookings must be approved by a clinician. This is usually only available once a stable dose has been reached.
