Private (non-NHS) ADHD assessments

There are many private companies offering ADHD assessments. We are not able to advise you to seek a private assessment or recommend any provider. In some instances, GP will make private ADHD referral to these companies at your request, for example under the NHS Right to Choose pathway. Please be aware that private providers may ask your GP to carry out some health checks, medical investigations and to take over prescribing medication once you are stable. Please be advised that Wincobank Medical Centre is currently unable to accept new shared care agreements for privately diagnosed ADHD patients due to the effect this would have on our capacity to provide routine care to our practice population. This decision has been made due to resource constraints, as well as our commitment to ensuring the highest standards of patient safety. This is in keeping with the British Medical Association (BMA) on this matter.
