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 Oxford

We list 7 private ADHD clinics serving Oxford, with assessments from £1,000 and a typical wait of about 2–4 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 Oxford options side by side.

Private ADHD assessment in Oxford: what to know locally

Oxford is covered by NHS Thames Valley ICB, and the local NHS route is currently closed: the Oxfordshire Adult ADHD Service, run by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, is not accepting new referrals and has published no reopening date.

Oxford Health's own guidance is that, for anyone seeking a new referral, "GPs may decide to support people to choose from an alternative NHS-approved provider under the NHS Right to Choose rules". So in Oxford, Right to Choose is not merely an alternative: it is the route the NHS service itself points you to.

Our Right to Choose guide lists the clinics that accept those referrals. It is a legal right in England but does not guarantee a shorter wait. If you pay privately instead, raise shared care early: it matters more where the NHS service is closed.

Confirm the referral position with your GP; it can change. Not medical advice.

How long is the wait for an ADHD assessment in Oxford?
Private clinics serving Oxford have a typical wait of about 2–4 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.

Can I get an online ADHD assessment in Oxford?
Yes. 4 of the 7 clinics listed in Oxford 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 Oxford?

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