Open guide ↗What a robust assessment considers
More than symptoms on a form.
A specialist assessment considers developmental history, current function, information across relevant settings and conditions that may overlap with ADHD.
Rating scales support the process. They do not replace clinical judgement or establish a diagnosis by themselves.
01
Development over time
Relevant symptoms usually begin in childhood, even when they were not recognised then.
02
Impact across life
Work, education, home, relationships, wellbeing and daily organisation are considered.
03
Supporting information
Family, school, records or another reliable source may add context with appropriate consent.
04
Alternative explanations
Physical health, sleep, mental health, autism, learning and substance use may also need attention.
The care journey
Clear from first enquiry to follow-up.
The pathway should set expectations before payment and keep clinical responsibility explicit afterwards.
Preparation
Complete secure history, questionnaires, consent and supporting-information steps.
Assessment
Explore history, function, strengths, risk, coexisting needs and diagnostic evidence.
Outcome
Receive feedback, a written report and a plan for support, treatment or further review.
What may follow
An outcome should be useful, whatever it is.
A responsible assessment can lead to several valid conclusions; payment never buys one particular result.
Diagnosis and choices
The clinician explains the evidence, what the diagnosis means and appropriate support or treatment options.
A different care route
Another condition or combination of needs may better explain the difficulties and require a different service.
Further assessment
The clinician may need records, collateral information, physical assessment or another specialist opinion.
When ADHD Services is not the first route
Urgent needs come first.
ADHD assessment is not a crisis or emergency service.
Call 999 or go to A&E
Use emergency care if someone’s life is at risk or you cannot keep yourself or another person safe.
Use NHS 111
Call 111 and select the mental health option, or use an urgent GP route, when help is needed now.
Tell the clinician
New risk, severe deterioration, substance withdrawal or an acute health problem may need another service before assessment continues.
The practical questions
Know what the pathway can—and cannot—promise.
The clinician, inclusions, fees and continuing-care responsibilities are confirmed before payment.
Is ADHD diagnosed in a standard GP consultation?
No. ADHD requires a separate comprehensive assessment by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional with relevant training and expertise.
Can I book for an adult or a child?
The service has separate information for adults and children or young people. Age eligibility, available specialist expertise and pathway suitability are confirmed before an assessment is accepted.
Will an online questionnaire diagnose ADHD?
No. Questionnaires can organise useful information but cannot establish or exclude ADHD on their own.
Does diagnosis guarantee medication?
No. Medication is one possible option and needs a separate specialist decision, baseline safety review, titration and monitoring.
Will my NHS GP accept shared care?
Not necessarily. Shared care requires your NHS GP’s agreement after appropriate specialist initiation and stabilisation. The private-care alternative and its costs should be clear.
How do I see the current fees?
Email the ADHD service for the current written fee schedule and service summary before booking. Do not send medical information by ordinary email.
ADHD pathway enquiries
Start with the service details.
Email your name, contact details and whether the enquiry concerns an adult or a child or young person. Please do not include symptoms, reports, medicines or other medical information in ordinary email; the team will explain the secure clinical route.
