Assessment processes will still be rigorous for prescribing ADHD medication. From February, GPs and nurse practitioners will be able to prescribe treatments from the outset without a specialist recommendation. Wait times for specialist appointments vary but can be over a year. Royal College of GPs medical director Dr. Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking it's a good move to help people access diagnoses more quickly and affordably. He says it will be under a specialist interest type GP who will have to up-skill through training courses to prescribe. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Beautiful Behavior, we're joined by Megan Hopp—mama, Nurse Practitioner, and Functional MedicineConsultant—whose personal journey into functional medicine began with one powerful realization: I'm not okay with these answers.When Megan started experiencing unexplainedsymptoms, she was met with the kind of responses many women know all too well—“Your labs are fine,” “It's just stress,” “You're a mom, of course you're tired.” For a while, she accepted those non-answers.But when her young son was diagnosed with PANDAS and she saw the same dismissive patterns in how his care was handled, something in her shifted. She began asking deeper questions, seeking real solutions, and ultimately discovered a whole new approach to health.In this episode, we talk about:*The gaps in traditional medicine when it comesto women's health*Why we often silence our intuition and settlefor less than we deserve*How Megan reclaimed her voice and chose adifferent path*What functional medicine is—and how it canempower you to feel better, not just “get by”This is not a conversation about burnout as abadge of honor. It's about learning to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and know that feeling like yourselfagain is possible.If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend or mama who needs to hear this reminder: You don't have to settle. You deserve to feel well. Subscribe, rate, andleave a review—it helps others find the show and join this movement of change.

Nurse practitioner Surani Hayre-Kwan discusses her article "Are you protecting your career? 5 essential questions about your NP liability insurance." Surani discusses the critical need for nurse practitioners to secure their own professional liability insurance, highlighting how relying solely on employer-provided coverage can leave significant gaps. She provides insights into common pitfalls, such as employer policies often excluding licensing board complaints or having shared liability limits. Surani explains the crucial differences between occurrence and claims-made coverage and the importance of understanding "tail" and "nose" coverage to ensure continuous protection when switching jobs or carriers. She also offers actionable advice on how robust documentation, including adherence to SOAP note standards and careful patient engagement, can serve as a powerful defense against legal challenges. Surani emphasizes that comprehensive malpractice coverage is vital for protecting an NP's license, career, and financial stability. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Transitioning from an RN to a Nurse Practitioner is exciting, but it comes with challenges that nursing school doesn't fully prepare you for. In this episode, Kaitlyn and I dive into those common pitfalls that new NPs face as they enter their first positions. From the discomfort of giving orders instead of taking them to figuring out efficient documentation systems, these challenges are part of the journey that most new NPs experience but rarely discuss openly during school. Remember - it's completely normal to feel new again, but with the right preparation, you can navigate these waters with confidence.

What happens when a routine day in primary care suddenly turns into a life-threatening emergency? As a nurse practitioner in primary care, I initially thought I'd left the high-stakes emergencies behind in my hospital days. The reality is quite different – from acute asthma attacks to stroke symptoms, emergencies can and do walk through our clinic doors without warning. In this episode, I'm breaking down the essential components of emergency preparedness in the primary care setting. I discuss the types of emergencies you might encounter, your role as the first responder, and how to perform effective risk stratification to determine which situations can be managed in-office versus those requiring immediate transfer to higher levels of care.
