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 whole assessment can be completed by video. Clinics without it have not listed one. Nearly all of the clinics here prescribe and most offer shared care — both are listed on the clinic's own page.

Private ADHD assessment in Belfast: what to know locally

Belfast's NHS ADHD services are provided by Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, and waits are among the longest in the UK: ADHD UK's summary of the trust's figures (2023) recorded about 1,710 adults waiting against 101 assessments in the year — an expected wait of around 16.9 years.

NHS Right to Choose is an England-only scheme and does not apply in Northern Ireland, so your NHS route is a standard GP referral into the trust's own service.

If you pay privately, check the clinic is registered with the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA), which regulates independent healthcare in Northern Ireland — a CQC registration covers a clinic's English sites only. Ask too whether it can arrange shared care so your GP can take over prescribing afterwards.

Confirm prices and waits with the clinic directly. Not medical advice — for anything clinical, speak to your GP.
