About Focus Gently

ADHD assessment for adults, without the two-year wait

Getting answers about adult ADHD shouldn't mean years on an NHS list or being passed from door to door. Focus Gently is an online-only ADHD clinic for adults, run by specialists who take the time to understand you, with a clear diagnosis, a plan, and real support to follow.

Everything happens from home, by secure video, at a time that suits you. No referral. No waiting list. Just a straightforward path from "I think this might be ADHD" to a proper answer and a way forward.

We're operated by Acute Care Direct Limited and registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Assessment and treatment are delivered remotely, with psychiatrist oversight and psychiatrist assessment available where it's clinically needed.

Why people choose Focus Gently

  • Seen by a specialist who gets it. Your assessment and prescribing are led by a registered nurse independent prescriber with real, specialist experience in adult ADHD, not a rushed 10-minute appointment.
  • Psychiatrist oversight, for peace of mind. Our nurse-led service works with psychiatrist oversight, and a psychiatrist assessment is available where it's clinically needed.
  • A report that's yours to keep. You walk away with a full written report: clear findings, recommendations and next steps you can share with your GP or employer.
  • Support that doesn't stop at diagnosis. A structured titration pathway helps you find the right medication and dose, with close monitoring and shared-care support with your GP.
  • Ongoing care that's actually affordable. Continued prescribing from £40 a month, with regular reviews and no minimum term. Cancel any time.
  • Spread the cost. Flexible payment plans available when you book.
  • Talk to us first, free. Not sure if it's right for you? Book a free 15-minute call with a clinician: no pressure, no obligation.

Is this for me?

We see adults aged 18 and over, and you don't need a GP referral to book. (We're not currently able to accept referrals from Scotland or Northern Ireland.)

What to expect from your assessment

Your diagnostic consultation is a full 90 minutes by secure video: enough time to properly explore your history, not tick a box. We use validated diagnostic tools alongside a complete clinical and developmental picture of you.

If a diagnosis is confirmed and medication is right for you, your clinician runs the necessary safety checks (blood pressure, pulse, height and weight, and your medical and mental-health history) before talking you through your options. Honest, unhurried, and on your terms.

Please note: because our clinicians' time and expertise go into every assessment, the fee applies whether or not ADHD is confirmed.

Already diagnosed elsewhere?

If you've been diagnosed by another provider, we can take over your care after a simple records-based review, and keep prescribing even where your GP has declined a shared-care agreement. No starting from scratch.

Common questions

How long is the wait time for a private ADHD assessment at Focus Gently?
There's no waiting list. Assessments are booked directly into the next available slot, usually within 1 working days, and run remotely by video.
Does Focus Gently accept NHS Right to Choose referrals?
Focus Gently isn't currently an NHS Right to Choose provider, so assessments are self-funded. We're working towards RTC provider status.
Can Focus Gently prescribe ADHD medication?
Yes. Focus Gently prescribes ADHD medication, including stimulants (controlled drugs) and non-stimulants, through our independent prescriber. Medication is dispensed by our partner pharmacy and paid for directly at cost. You'll need a home blood pressure monitor, as titration is monitored remotely.
Does Focus Gently offer shared care arrangements?
Shared care is a decision for each individual GP practice, so no provider can guarantee it. Once you're stable on medication, we write to your GP each year to request a shared care arrangement. If they decline (which many practices now do), you can stay with us on our monthly prescribing plan for as long as you need.
What assessment methods does Focus Gently use?
Assessments are remote, one-to-one video appointments with a qualified clinician. Before your appointment you complete standardised ADHD rating scales. The assessment itself covers your developmental, educational, occupational and family history, current symptoms and functional impact across settings, and screening for conditions that overlap with ADHD. Diagnosis is made against DSM-5 criteria using a structured diagnostic interview. Where available we'll ask for supporting evidence such as school reports or an account from someone who knew you as a child, though a diagnosis doesn't depend on it.
How long is an assessment with Focus Gently?
Focus Gently reports that an assessment takes about 90 minutes. This is the length of the appointment itself and may vary: check with the clinic.
What is Focus Gently's cancellation policy?
Full refund or a free reschedule with at least 48 hours' notice. Inside 48 hours, or for a no-show, £50 is retained for assessments and packages or £20 for reviews, and the balance is refunded.
