360 Care is our structured aftercare pathway designed to keep your ADHD treatment safe, supported, and consistent. If medication is prescribed, we can provide an electronic prescription (where clinically appropriate) and then review how you’re getting on at clear intervals—so you’re not left on your own or sent back to a long public waitlist for ongoing care. Every follow-up is planned, transparent, and focused on helping you find the right plan and keep it working long-term.
Each review/follow-up appointment is €95.
For kids, it can lead to better learning strategies, school accommodations, and improved behaviour management.
