Refer a patient for ADHD care.

Help a patient access assessment or treatment and coordinate relevant information with their consent.

Information that supports review

  • The clinical question and reason for referral.
  • Diagnosis status and relevant existing reports.
  • Current treatment, medication and provider responsibilities.
  • Relevant safety, access and funding considerations.
  • Patient consent and a secure route for further communication.

Contact the clinic to arrange secure transfer of records. Please do not send clinical documents through ordinary email.

Referral pathway

What happens after referral

The process keeps responsibility visible rather than moving the patient into an opaque queue.

01

Patient completes intake

The patient submits history, current concerns, risk, diagnosis status and coverage information.

02

Clinician reviews the referral

SaskADHD identifies the appropriate pathway or a safer alternative first step.

03

Assessment or treatment begins

The client enters the agreed service with goals, scope and review points clarified.

04

Coordination occurs with consent

Relevant findings, intervention plans or outcome information can be shared with the referring provider.

What you may receive

Reports and care coordination

Information sharing is limited to what is clinically relevant and authorized by the patient.

Assessment

Findings and intervention plan

Receive the written summary, relevant differential considerations and recommended care sequence.

Treatment

Progress and outcome information

Where appropriate, receive baseline, midpoint and completion data plus a maintenance plan.

Medication

Defined prescribing roles

The NP may provide bridge prescribing only when the patient lacks a prescriber, with transition back to ongoing care.

Questions before you begin

No. Patients can self-refer. A concise referral letter is useful when it clarifies the clinical question, current treatment and medical context.

No. The NP pathway may bridge care when no prescriber is available, but continuing management remains with a family physician or ongoing NP.

No. Information is shared with patient consent and according to clinical relevance, privacy rules and professional scope.

Arrange a secure referral

Contact the clinic first to confirm the secure transfer method and the relevant service. Include the clinical question and the patient’s consent when sending the agreed records. Ask how receipt will be acknowledged; submitting a referral does not itself confirm acceptance or a booking.
