Free. GP referral required. Your GP refers you to the local team. Waits are often long — in many areas, measured in years. Prescribing afterwards is usually straightforward.
Free. England only. A legal entitlement to ask your GP to refer you to any NHS-contracted provider rather than your local team. Reliability reduced since 2025 as a number of ICBs have capped, paused or restricted ADHD referrals — check your local ICB's current position before assuming it is open to you.
[[£895]]. Shorter waits — [[few weeks]] — and you choose your clinician. The trade-off: your GP may decline shared care afterwards, meaning you pay for prescriptions and reviews privately, ongoing. That is the long-term cost most providers don't mention.
This short screener covers the symptom areas clinicians assess — attention, restlessness and impulsivity — to indicate whether a full assessment may be worthwhile. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

This screener is an educational tool and does not provide a medical diagnosis. Only a qualified clinician can diagnose ADHD following a full clinical assessment. A positive screen does not mean you (or your child) have ADHD, and a negative screen does not rule it out. If you are struggling, please speak to your GP or a mental health professional.
