Assessment Process

Assessment is delivered by the multidisciplinary team at the Bolton centre, using ADOS-2 for autism and QbCheck for ADHD alongside clinical assessment. Appointment lengths are not published: ask when you enquire.

After Diagnosis

The centre prescribes ADHD medication where clinically appropriate, and also prescribes for sleep difficulties in under-18s where indicated. Because a non-medical prescriber and consultant psychiatrists are on the same team, treatment can begin without a referral elsewhere.

Right to Choose

Amethyst does not accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, so assessment here is self-funded or through insurance.
