NSW GPs will resupply ADHD medication after training

Starting in September, trained GPs in New South Wales will be authorized to refill ADHD medication prescriptions, streamlining care for patients. This new initiative, announced by the NSW government, aims to reduce wait times and costs associated with obtaining refills, which currently require specialist appointments. The program will train 1,000 doctors, with the first tier focusing on medication resupply. The reforms are welcomed by both patients and GPs, who hope to improve access to treatment and alleviate financial burdens. A second tier of training, allowing GPs to diagnose and initiate medication, is planned for later this year.
