Quality of the assessment
The diagnostic report and supporting evidence are reviewed against recognised standards and the person’s current presentation.
Existing ADHD diagnosis
A diagnosis is important—but safe transfer needs more.
A new clinician must understand how the diagnosis was reached, what treatment has been tried and what monitoring and follow-up are currently needed.
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.
Current clinical position
Symptoms, function, physical health, mental health, medicine response, monitoring and risk may have changed.
Continuity without assumptions
The outgoing clinician, new specialist, NHS GP and pharmacy responsibilities must be clear before prescribing changes hands.
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.

Useful answers
The practical questions.
Clear expectations matter before assessment, treatment or transfer of care.
Will you accept any private ADHD diagnosis?
No provider should promise this without review. The clinician considers the report, assessment standard, qualifications, current needs and whether safe follow-up can be provided.
Can you continue my current prescription immediately?
Not automatically. Safe prescribing requires adequate records, clinical review, monitoring and clear responsibility. Avoid waiting until medicine has run out.
Will I need another full assessment?
Possibly. This depends on the evidence available, how the diagnosis was reached, time since assessment, current presentation and any inconsistencies or new concerns.
Can my NHS shared-care agreement move to Allhours GP?
Shared care is an agreement between specific clinicians or services. A new arrangement must be considered and accepted; it does not transfer automatically.
What if my previous provider closes?
Contact your NHS GP and the new specialist service early. Urgent medicine supply cannot be assumed, particularly for controlled drugs.
