Already diagnosed with ADHD? Continue your care with us

If you were diagnosed with ADHD somewhere else, you don’t always need to start again. Send us your diagnosis report and treatment records, then book a medication review. Your clinician checks the diagnosis against NICE guidance and your treatment so far, so we can continue your care safely, or tell you honestly if more is needed.

Who the review is for

This route is for adults living in the UK who have an ADHD diagnosis and want us to look after their care. For example, you were diagnosed:

  • Privately, by another clinic
  • Through NHS Right to Choose, in England
  • By an NHS service in any of the four nations
  • Abroad
  • Years ago, perhaps as a child, and you’d now like to restart treatment
  • By a provider that has since closed or stopped seeing you

Was your child diagnosed elsewhere?

This route is for adults only. If your child or teenager (6 to 17) was diagnosed by another service, please contact us first. Our patient care team will explain what’s possible and what our child psychiatrist would need to see.

Already treated by the NHS?

If an NHS ADHD service already prescribes for you, it’s usually safest to stay with them. If your care is NHS-funded through Right to Choose, moving to us means paying privately, so ask your current provider first.

What to send us

Your clinician reads your documents before your appointment, so please send them as soon as you can after booking. We’ll email you how to send them securely.

  • Your full diagnostic report, not just a letter saying you have ADHD. It should explain how the diagnosis was reached
  • Clinic letters, including any sent to your GP
  • Your treatment history, if you’ve had treatment: which medicines, doses and dates, any side effects, the date of your last prescription, and your latest blood pressure, pulse and weight
  • Any shared care agreement you had with your GP

Can’t find your report? Ask the service that diagnosed you, or your GP practice, which may hold copies of letters. You have a legal right to ask for a copy of the health records an organisation holds about you. Is your report in another language? Tell us when you book and we’ll explain what translation we need.

What your first appointment checks

Your clinician checks whether your original assessment meets the standards in the NICE guideline on ADHD (NG87). They look at whether:

  • It was made by a specialist psychiatrist or another suitably qualified clinician with training and expertise in ADHD
  • Your symptoms met recognised criteria (DSM-5 or ICD-11), with difficulties going back to childhood
  • They caused at least moderate problems in two or more parts of life, such as home and work
  • It was based on a full clinical assessment, including other people’s reports where possible, not on questionnaires alone
  • Other conditions that can look like ADHD, or come with it, were considered

In the appointment, they also talk with you about how ADHD affects you now, your health and any treatment so far. NICE says that before starting medication, a clinician should confirm that you still meet the criteria and need treatment.

Not a rubber stamp

We don’t accept a diagnosis just because a report exists, and we don’t repeat a full assessment unless there’s a clear reason to. The appointment is a genuine clinical check. The fee pays for that clinical work, whatever the outcome.

Diagnosed abroad?

We check overseas reports against the same standards. If you took medication abroad, your clinician may suggest a medicine available in the UK, which may mean starting titration.

What happens after your first appointment

Your clinician explains the outcome and their reasons. With your consent, we let your GP know. There are three possible outcomes.

We continue your care

If you’re not on medication, or need changes, you carry on with titration with Sophie Turner (£199 per appointment). If you’re already on a stable dose, you may be able to request repeat prescriptions (£60 each) once we have your GP records, with a medication review at least once a year.

We need more information

Sometimes a report leaves gaps, for example about your childhood or other conditions. We’ll tell you exactly what’s missing, such as your full records or a view from someone who knew you as a child, and what happens next. If anything would cost extra, we’ll tell you before it’s booked.

We recommend a full assessment

If the original assessment doesn’t meet NICE standards, or things have changed a lot, we’ll explain why and may recommend a full adult ADHD assessment (£289). It’s your choice whether to go ahead.

Later, once you have completed three titration appointments and your dose is stable, you can ask us to request shared care from your GP (£200). A shared care agreement is between your GP and a named specialist service, so an agreement with your old provider doesn’t carry over automatically, and your GP can decline. Read more in our guide to transferring ADHD care or reviewing an older or overseas diagnosis.

Questions about moving your care

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No. You can book directly. We’ll ask for your GP’s details, because we need a summary of your GP records before we can prescribe. If you don’t agree to us contacting your GP, we can’t prescribe.

My medication is about to run out. Can you prescribe straight away?

No. We can only prescribe after your first appointment and the safety checks, including your GP records. Appointments are usually available within days, but we can’t promise a prescription in time. If you’re close to running out, speak to your current prescriber or your GP first.

I was diagnosed as a child. Is that still valid?

It can be, and childhood records are often very helpful. Your clinician will look at how ADHD affects you as an adult now, because that’s what decides whether treatment is right for you today.

Can I have the review if I live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?

Yes, this route is open to adults anywhere in the UK. If you live in Northern Ireland and want treatment afterwards, please contact us first so we can confirm we can prescribe for you.

Can I go straight to repeat prescriptions?

Not at first. Your first appointment is a medication review, because a clinician needs to check your diagnosis, your treatment and your GP records before prescribing. If you’re stable on your medication and the evidence is enough, you can then request repeats.

What if I need to cancel?

With 72 hours’ notice or more, you get a full refund or can move your appointment free of charge. With 48 to 72 hours’ notice, you get a 50% refund or one free move. With less than 48 hours’ notice, or if you miss the appointment, there is no refund. See our cancellations and refunds policy, which also explains your 14-day right to cancel.
