Eligibility before payment
Age, location, clinical complexity, available expertise and the service’s ability to provide follow-up are checked first.
Assessment journey
Every stage should feel clear and considered.
A robust ADHD assessment brings together your account, developmental history, evidence from daily life, clinical judgement and consideration of other explanations.
An ADHD assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis, medication, prescription or shared-care agreement. Please do not email medical details.

At a glance
The detail that protects the decision.
ADHD care should be careful enough to consider history, daily function, strengths, other possible explanations and the support needed next.
Information from real life
Symptoms, functional impact and history are explored across relevant settings, with collateral information where appropriate.
An explained outcome
The feedback and report should describe the evidence, conclusion, alternative explanations, risk and recommended next steps.
Clinical review
A pathway built around evidence and context.
The clinician brings together the person’s account, reliable supporting information, clinical expertise and recognised diagnostic and treatment standards.
The aim is an accurate, useful formulation—not a predetermined outcome.
01
Pre-assessment
Secure forms collect identity, concerns, developmental history, function, health, risk and consent for relevant information.
02
Specialist consultation
The clinician explores examples in depth rather than simply repeating questionnaire items.
03
Additional evidence
Collateral history, school information, records or another appointment may be needed before a conclusion.
04
Feedback and report
The clinician explains the formulation, diagnosis or non-diagnosis, support options and any further assessment.
Before you proceed
Make the scope clear.
Good preparation reduces delay, protects confidentiality and makes the clinical discussion more useful.

Useful answers
The practical questions.
Clear expectations matter before assessment, treatment or transfer of care.
How long is an ADHD assessment?
The service confirms appointment length and whether more than one session is included before booking. Clinical complexity and missing information can require additional time.
What are questionnaires used for?
They structure observations and examples. NICE guidance is clear that rating scales cannot be the sole basis for diagnosis.
What if information from childhood is limited?
The clinician considers the evidence available, other sources and the reliability of recall. They will explain if a safe conclusion cannot yet be reached.
Will I receive a report?
The written service summary confirms the report included, expected content, delivery method and timing before payment.
Can the outcome be that I do not have ADHD?
Yes. A responsible assessment may diagnose ADHD, identify another explanation, recommend further assessment or conclude that evidence is insufficient.
