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.

About ADHD assessment in Manchester

We list 10 private ADHD clinics serving Manchester, with assessments from £289 and a typical wait of about ~2 wks. Wait times vary by clinic, so compare the current wait shown for each. 1 of them accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, where the NHS pays for the assessment. 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.

Every listing shows the clinic’s assessment price, typical wait, services and reviews, so you can compare Manchester options side by side.

Private ADHD assessment in Manchester: what to know locally

Manchester is covered by NHS Greater Manchester ICB, with adult ADHD assessment in the city provided by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.

Greater Manchester is one ICB but not one service. GMMH runs adult ADHD in several boroughs and explicitly not in others, so a pathway that applies in Manchester may not apply a few miles away: ask your GP which service covers your postcode rather than your city.

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.

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

Can I get an online ADHD assessment in Manchester?
Yes. 7 of the 10 clinics listed in Manchester are 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.

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

Right to Choose is a legal right in England under the NHS Constitution.
