In England, you have a legal right to choose your provider for an NHS-funded ADHD assessment. It is called Right to Choose; it needs a referral from your GP, and it costs you nothing.
Waits vary enormously by provider and by area, and in some cases they are now long enough that people choose to pay. But it is worth asking your GP about it before spending £950, and we would rather tell you than have you find out afterwards.
People generally choose to pay when the wait where they live is measured in years, when a diagnosis is needed for a deadline such as exams, workplace adjustments or a DSA application, or when they have already been waiting and want it resolved.
ADHD ASSESSMENT IN MANCHESTER, TWO TO THREE WEEKS
By video or in person
Most of the assessment is designed to be conducted by video call, including the QbCheck. That means you can be assessed from anywhere. If you would rather be seen face-to-face, King Street, Salford, is available.
Adults, adolescents and children
Adults and adolescents from £950. Children from £1,295, which reflects the additional work involving parents, carers and school input.
What the ADHD assessment involves IN MANCHESTER
Pre-assessment questionnaires: Completed before your first appointment, covering symptoms across your life rather than only now.
Screening consultation: Thirty to forty-five minutes with a clinical psychiatrist, by video call.
Full diagnostic assessment: One and a half to two hours, using standardised measures and a clinical interview, with the QbCheck computer-based test available alongside it.
Feedback and written report: Results discussed in a follow-up appointment, with a full diagnostic report and recommendations.
An assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis. A thorough one sometimes concludes that something else fits better, and that is a useful outcome rather than a wasted fee.
What happens after diagnosis IN MANCHESTER
Medication: Our consultant psychiatrists can prescribe ADHD medication after a confirmed diagnosis, with titration appointments to find the right dose and review appointments to monitor how it is working.
Shared care: If your GP agrees to a shared care agreement, ongoing prescriptions can transfer to NHS care, which reduces the long-term cost considerably. GPs are not obliged to agree, and practice varies by area, so this is worth asking your own GP about early.
Without medication: Cognitive behavioural therapy, ADHD coaching and practical strategies are all options, and for some people they are the preferred route rather than a fallback.
Your report: Written to be accepted by NHS GPs, local health authorities, schools and universities, which matters if you need it for workplace adjustments, exam arrangements or a Disabled Students’ Allowance application.

ADHD Assessment MANCHESTER FAQs
£950 for adults and adolescents, £1,295 for children. That covers the full assessment and the written report.
Possibly. In England, Right to Choose lets you pick your provider for an NHS-funded assessment at no cost, with a GP referral. Waits vary a great deal by provider and area. Ask your GP before paying privately.

If your GP agrees to a shared care agreement, then yes, and that reduces the ongoing cost considerably. GPs are not obliged to agree, and practice varies, so ask yours early.
An assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis. A thorough assessment sometimes identifies something else that fits better, which is a useful outcome. The fee covers the assessment either way.
Ask us for that figure rather than the assessment price alone. Titration and review appointments after diagnosis are where the ongoing cost lies, and whether shared care transfers make a large difference.
