COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

The questions below have been compiled from real enquiries received by our team.

They cover the topics our patients most frequently ask about, from what to expect during an assessment through to medication, GP shared care, and the NHS Right to Choose pathway.

If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch.

Your assessment is a thorough clinical interview conducted by one of our specialist clinicians. It typically covers your current symptoms and how they affect daily life, your developmental history including childhood behaviour, your educational and occupational background, and your mental health history. You may also be asked to complete standardised rating scales before or during the appointment. The clinician uses this information alongside evidence-based diagnostic tools to reach a clinical judgement. At the end of the assessment, you will be given an initial outcome and advised on next steps.
A full ADHD assessment with Attention to Health typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes. We allow enough time to gather a thorough history and ensure you have the opportunity to describe your experiences fully. A follow-up appointment is not usually required to receive your diagnosis.
We ask for an informant report, meaning information from someone who knew you in childhood, such as a parent, sibling, or close family member, as this helps us build a picture of your early development. However, we understand this is not always possible. If you do not have someone available to provide this information, please let us know when you book and we will discuss the best approach for your circumstances.
Yes. All assessments at Attention to Health are conducted or overseen by experienced clinicians, including consultant psychiatrists. Our diagnostic process adheres to the standards set out by UKAAN and NICE guideline NG87.
Our assessments are conducted in line with NICE guideline NG87 and UKAAN standards. We use established semi-structured diagnostic interviews and standardised rating scales as part of the process. Our reports are designed to be thorough and clinically robust, which is important for NHS acceptance and other purposes such as university support.
We aim to send your written report within a few weeks of your assessment. The report is a detailed clinical document that outlines the findings of your assessment, your diagnosis if applicable, and recommendations for treatment or further support. If you have not received your report within the expected timeframe, please contact us at theteam@athealth.uk.
Yes. As well as online video assessments, we offer face-to-face appointments at a number of locations across the UK. Please get in touch to find out which clinicians are available in your area.
Our primary focus is on adults aged 18 and over. If you are enquiring on behalf of a young person, please contact us directly to discuss your situation and we will do our best to help or signpost you to an appropriate service.
Please refer to our current pricing page on the website or contact us directly for up-to-date pricing, as costs may be subject to change. The assessment fee covers the clinical interview, scoring of diagnostic tools, and preparation of your written report. It does not include titration, medication review, or ongoing prescription costs, which are charged separately.
If a diagnosis is made and you wish to start medication, a titration appointment will be required. This is a separate appointment to help identify the right medication and dose for you. Ongoing medication reviews are also charged separately on a periodic basis. We will be transparent about all costs involved before you commit to any appointment.
Medication costs vary depending on the type and dose prescribed and the pharmacy you use. As a guide, many ADHD medications are available for a standard NHS prescription charge if your GP takes over prescribing through a Shared Care Agreement. If you remain on a private prescription, costs will be higher and vary by medication. We recommend checking with your pharmacy for current pricing once your medication has been confirmed.
Please contact us directly to discuss your circumstances. We will do our best to help where we can and may be able to suggest alternative pathways such as Right to Choose, which allows you to access private ADHD assessment funded by the NHS.
Some private health insurance policies, including those from Aviva and Bupa, may cover all or part of the cost of a private ADHD assessment. Coverage varies significantly between policies, so we recommend checking directly with your insurer before booking and obtaining pre-authorisation where required. We are happy to provide documentation to support an insurance claim.
After your diagnosis, the next step is a titration appointment. During titration, your clinician will discuss which medication is most appropriate for you and start you on a low dose, which is then adjusted over time until the right dose is found. Once you are stable on medication, you will need periodic medication reviews. Your clinician will explain this process in full at your assessment.
Titration is the process of finding the right ADHD medication and dose for you. ADHD medications are not one-size-fits-all. They need to be introduced carefully and adjusted based on how you respond. Titration typically involves starting on a low dose and gradually increasing it over a number of weeks until the optimal dose is identified. It requires monitoring and follow-up appointments, and is an important step in ensuring your treatment is both safe and effective.
Most ADHD medications are prescribed for daily use to maintain consistent symptom management throughout the day. Some people explore more flexible approaches with their prescriber, but this depends on the individual, the medication, and clinical judgement. This is something to discuss directly with your clinician during your titration or medication review appointment.
Yes, in many cases we are able to accept transfers from other private providers. We will typically ask to see your previous assessment report and any medication history. Please contact us at theteam@athealth.uk with the details and we can advise on the right appointment to book.
A Shared Care Agreement is a formal arrangement between your private prescriber and your NHS GP, in which the GP agrees to take over day-to-day responsibility for prescribing your ADHD medication. This means you can receive your prescription via the NHS rather than paying private prescription charges. The agreement sets out each party's responsibilities and is initiated by the private prescriber once you are stable on medication.
Unfortunately, GP refusal of Shared Care Agreements for ADHD medication is not uncommon. If your GP declines, you have several options. You may continue to receive private prescriptions from us, though this comes at an ongoing cost. You can also ask your GP to reconsider and provide written reasons for their refusal. Some patients escalate to their GP practice manager or Integrated Care Board. In some areas, NHS ADHD services will accept Shared Care requests independently of the GP. We can help advise on the options available to you.
Once you are stable on medication and have a recommendation from your clinician, we can provide documentation to support a Shared Care request. You should contact your GP surgery and ask to speak with your GP about taking over prescribing under a Shared Care Agreement. Sharing your assessment report and titration summary will help your GP understand your treatment plan. We are happy to liaise with your GP directly if needed.
A private ADHD diagnosis from a reputable provider that follows NICE and UKAAN standards should be accepted by the NHS for the purposes of treatment and support. However, individual GP and NHS service responses can vary. Our reports are written to the clinical standards required for NHS acceptance, and we have experience of our diagnoses being accepted across a range of NHS settings. If you encounter difficulties, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
Yes. Our assessment reports are detailed clinical documents that include the information typically required by universities for applications for Disabled Students Allowance and exam accommodations such as extra time or a separate room. We recommend checking the specific requirements of your university's disability services team, as requirements can vary. If additional information is needed, please get in touch.
Right to Choose is an NHS pathway that allows patients in England who are referred for a mental health assessment to choose their provider, including certain private providers. If you are on an NHS ADHD waiting list or have been referred by your GP, you may be eligible to choose Attention to Health as your provider at no cost to you. Ask your GP to refer you under Right to Choose, or contact us to find out more about whether you are eligible.
Your right to choose your provider is established under NHS England policy, and your GP should facilitate a referral on request. If your GP is hesitant, it may help to explain that Right to Choose is a legal entitlement and that the cost is met by the NHS, not the GP practice. You can also contact NHS England or your local Integrated Care Board for guidance. We are happy to provide information to share with your GP if that would help.
Yes. Attention to Health is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Our CQC registration number is available on request. You can also verify our registration directly on the CQC website.
ADHD in adults can look quite different from the hyperactive child often depicted in popular culture. Common signs include difficulty sustaining attention on tasks, being easily distracted, forgetting appointments or losing things, impulsive decision-making, difficulty organising tasks, restlessness, and struggling to manage time effectively. Many adults with ADHD also experience emotional dysregulation, low frustration tolerance, and a tendency to become overwhelmed. If you recognise these patterns in yourself, it may be worth speaking to a clinician.
Yes. ADHD and autism frequently co-occur, a combination sometimes referred to as AuDHD. Research suggests that a significant proportion of autistic people also have ADHD, and vice versa. The two conditions share some overlapping traits but also have distinct features, and having both can affect how symptoms present and how treatment is approached. If you have an existing diagnosis of either condition and suspect the other may also apply, our clinicians are experienced in assessing for both.
ADHD in women is frequently underdiagnosed because it often presents differently to the more familiar hyperactive presentation. Women are more likely to show inattentive symptoms, such as daydreaming, disorganisation, and emotional sensitivity, which are easier to overlook or attribute to other causes. Many women also develop strong coping strategies, known as masking, which can hide the difficulties they are experiencing. This means many women reach adulthood without a diagnosis despite having struggled for years.
Anxiety and ADHD very commonly coexist. In some cases, what appears to be anxiety is partly driven by the daily challenges of living with undiagnosed or unmanaged ADHD, such as constantly feeling behind, making impulsive mistakes, or struggling to keep up with responsibilities. In other cases, both conditions are present independently. A thorough assessment will take account of anxiety symptoms in the context of your wider history.
Online screeners can be a useful starting point and may indicate that a formal assessment is worth pursuing, but they cannot diagnose ADHD. A diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical assessment by a qualified professional who can take your full history into account and rule out other explanations for your symptoms. If your screener result was high, we would encourage you to book an expert consultation or full assessment to get a clearer picture.
You can book directly through our website. If you are unsure which appointment is right for you, we recommend starting with an Expert Consultation, which is a shorter appointment with one of our clinicians to discuss your symptoms and determine whether a full assessment is appropriate. If you have any difficulty booking, please email us at theteam@athealth.uk.
You can reschedule your appointment using the link provided in your booking confirmation. If you experience any difficulty rescheduling through the booking system, please contact us directly at theteam@athealth.uk with your full name, date of birth, and the date and time of your appointment and we will be happy to help.
The best way to reach us is by email at theteam@athealth.uk. Please include your full name and date of birth in any correspondence so we can locate your records quickly. We aim to respond to all enquiries promptly.
If you have sent documents such as a previous assessment report and have not received a response within a few business days, please follow up by email at theteam@athealth.uk. Include your name, date of birth, and a brief description of what you sent and when, so the team can locate your correspondence and advise on next steps.
