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. Around half of the clinics here prescribe and around half offer shared care — both are listed on the clinic's own page.

Private ADHD assessment in Nottingham: what to know locally

Nottingham is covered by NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB, with NHS adult ADHD assessment historically provided through Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. ADHD UK's summary of NHS figures (2024) recorded about 3,800 adults waiting against 1,404 assessed in 2023/24 — an effective wait of around 2.7 years.

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. Some clinics will write to your GP asking for shared care after a private diagnosis, but your GP does not have to agree.

Confirm prices, waits and referral status directly. Not medical advice — for anything clinical, speak to your GP.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in Nottingham?

Across the 6 clinics serving Nottingham, private ADHD assessments range from £550 to £1,500 (around £1,111 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 Nottingham?

Private clinics serving Nottingham have a typical wait of about 0–2 wks — 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.

Ask each clinic you are considering whether it runs online assessments and, if so, how and for which ages.
