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 Edinburgh: what to know locally

Edinburgh's NHS services are run by NHS Lothian, where adult ADHD assessment waits are long: ADHD UK's summary of the board's figures (2024/25) recorded about 1,765 adults waiting against roughly 290 assessed in the year — an effective wait of around 6 years.

NHS Right to Choose is an England-only scheme and does not apply in Scotland. Ask your GP about an NHS referral.

If you pay privately, check the clinic is regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) rather than the CQC, which covers English sites only. 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 and waits with the clinic directly. Not medical advice — for anything clinical, speak to your GP.
