Prices are the clinic’s own private fee. Free on NHS means they take Right to Choose referrals, so the NHS covers that service. Online means the clinic is marked as offering the whole assessment by video call, for at least one age group. Clinics without a mark may still offer it, so ask the clinic. Most of the clinics here prescribe and most offer shared care: both are listed on the clinic's own page.

Private ADHD assessment in Derby: what to know locally

Derby is covered by NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB, which commissions NHS care for the city and the wider county from one board, so the waiting position quoted for Derbyshire is generally the one that applies in the city.

Ask your GP for the local wait as a number rather than a category. "Long" covers everything from months to years, and the answer changes what paying privately is actually buying you.

NHS Right to Choose is a legal right in England and lets your GP refer you to an approved independent provider at no cost to you, though it does not guarantee a shorter wait. If you pay privately, ask about shared care.

Confirm prices, waits and referral status directly. Not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in Derby?

Across the 5 clinics serving Derby, private ADHD assessments range from £1,495 to £1,500 (around £1,499 on average). That usually covers the consultation, assessment and diagnostic report; follow-up appointments and medication reviews are typically charged separately.

How long is the wait for an ADHD assessment in Derby?

Waits differ between the private clinics serving Derby: wait times vary by clinic and aren't guaranteed, so compare the current wait shown for each. Some local NHS areas now limit the number of Right to Choose assessments they fund and have set minimum waits, so an NHS-funded wait can be much longer than the private wait shown for a clinic. Before your GP refers you, ask the clinic whether it is taking Right to Choose referrals from your area and what its wait is.

Can I get an online ADHD assessment in Derby?

Yes. 1 of the 5 clinics listed in Derby is marked as offering the whole assessment by video call; clinics without the mark may still offer it. Video appointments can suit people with mobility issues, who live far from a clinic, or who find it hard to take time off work. Ask each clinic you are considering whether it runs online assessments and, if so, how and for which ages.

Can I use NHS Right to Choose for an ADHD assessment in Derby?

NHS Right to Choose is available in England, but none of the Derby clinics currently listed accept it. You can widen your search to nearby clinics or online providers that do, or compare the self-pay options above.
