Common questions about ADHD assessment in the UK
Full guide →What is NHS Right to Choose for ADHD?
NHS Right to Choose is a policy in England that lets patients ask their GP for a referral to any CQC-registered provider for an ADHD assessment at no cost to the patient. The NHS funds the assessment in full. It is not available in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, where you must be assessed through your devolved health board.
How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in the UK?
Private ADHD assessments in the UK typically cost between £450 and £1,400 for the initial assessment, depending on the provider, age group, and whether the clinic is online or in-person. Medication titration and follow-up appointments are often charged separately.
How long does it take to get an ADHD assessment in the UK?
NHS waiting times can exceed several years in some areas. Via NHS Right to Choose, waits are typically 12–24 weeks depending on the provider. Private ADHD assessments can usually be booked within 2–6 weeks.
Can my child get an ADHD assessment through NHS Right to Choose?
NHS Right to Choose in England covers children (under 18) as well as adults, though not all providers accept under-18s. Seen Sooner filters providers by age group so you only see suitable options for your child.
What happens during an ADHD assessment?
A typical ADHD assessment includes a structured clinical interview covering your history and symptoms, standardised rating scales (such as Conners or DIVA), and sometimes cognitive testing. A psychiatrist or specialist nurse reviews the findings and issues a diagnostic report. The process usually takes one to three appointments.
