questions?
Do I need a referral?
It’s usually not necessary and our psychiatrists can see you directly without a referral. We are happy to accept referrals from your GP, other medical doctors, psychologists and other mental health professionals as well. Please note: In certain cases, some private medical insurance, if you are referred by a private medical insurance provider, please contact us to discuss further.
What's the minimum age my child has to be to get assessed?
Your child must be 6 and over to be seen by a doctor at Parach Psychiatry.
Is Prescription free?
The prescription writing is free during the initiation and titration period. Once an optimal dose is reached for repeat prescription, Parach psychiatry charges a £75 administration fee to write and post your prescription. This covers the doctors time, postage to the pharmacy and any follow up admin involved in processing the prescription. The cost of medication is naturally not included and will need to be paid extra to the pharmacy.
How will my medication be delivered?
We normally recommend using a pharmacy that delivers the medication to you, as it is more secure. You will get a payment link from them on your mobile phone and once you have paid, they will deliver the medication to you: within 24hrs if you are within the London area and within 48hrs anywhere else in the UK.
