How it works

A clear process from first enquiry to next steps.

Our adult ADHD pathway is designed to make the process understandable from the outset. Child ADHD is coming soon.

1

Enquiry

Tell us what has prompted you to seek an adult ADHD assessment.

2

Clinical triage

We review suitability, risk and complexity before the full assessment.

3

Preparation

Questionnaires, developmental information and relevant collateral evidence are gathered.

4

Assessment

A structured clinical assessment explores symptoms, history, function and alternative explanations.

5

Review & outcome

Appropriate specialist review leads to feedback, a written report and practical next steps.

Not a screening-only service

Questionnaires help. They do not make the diagnosis.

Screening and rating scales can structure information, but the clinical decision comes from the broader assessment: history, impairment, evidence across settings where relevant, differential considerations and professional judgement.

Complex cases

Where the information suggests significant diagnostic uncertainty or complexity, the case should receive the additional specialist review appropriate to the presentation rather than being pushed through a routine pathway.
