Private ADHD Assessment in West Midlands: Complete Guide
Why Choose a Private ADHD Clinic?
The NHS waiting list for ADHD assessment can exceed 2 years in many areas. Private ADHD clinics in West Midlands offer appointments within 2-8 weeks, allowing you to get diagnosed and start treatment much faster. All clinics listed are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and staffed by qualified psychiatrists and specialist ADHD clinicians.
What to Expect from Your Assessment
A comprehensive ADHD assessment typically involves a detailed clinical interview, review of your medical history, childhood behavior questionnaires, and standardized ADHD rating scales. The assessment usually lasts 60-90 minutes and can be conducted in-person or via secure video consultation. Following your assessment, you'll receive a detailed diagnostic report that can be shared with your GP.
NHS Right to Choose in West Midlands
2 clinics in West Midlands accept NHS Right to Choose referrals. This means you can be referred by your GP to a private clinic and receive treatment funded by the NHS, with no out-of-pocket costs for the assessment. Ask your GP for a Right to Choose referral to one of these clinics to access faster ADHD diagnosis through the NHS.
Medication and Ongoing Treatment
15 clinics in West Midlands are licensed to prescribe ADHD medication. If you're diagnosed with ADHD, your clinician can prescribe medication such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) or lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse). Most clinics offer titration services to find the right medication and dosage for you, followed by regular medication reviews. Many also provide shared care agreements with your GP to continue prescriptions long-term.
Choosing the Right Clinic
When selecting an ADHD clinic in West Midlands, consider factors such as the clinician's qualifications and experience, assessment methodology, wait times, location (or online availability), and total cost including follow-up appointments. Read patient reviews and check the clinic's CQC rating. Most clinics offer a free initial consultation to discuss your needs and answer questions about their service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private ADHD assessment cost in West Midlands?
Private ADHD assessments in West Midlands typically cost between £250 and £1,500, with an average price of around £977. This usually includes the initial consultation, comprehensive assessment, and diagnostic report. Additional costs may include follow-up appointments (£100-£200), medication reviews (£80-£150), and titration services if you require medication.
How long does it take to get an ADHD assessment in West Midlands?
Most private ADHD clinics in this region offer appointments within 2-8 weeks of your initial inquiry, compared to NHS waiting times of 18 months to 3 years. Some clinics offer same-week appointments for urgent cases. After your assessment appointment, you'll typically receive your diagnostic report within 1-2 weeks.
Can I use NHS Right to Choose for ADHD assessment?
Yes! 2 clinics in West Midlands accept NHS Right to Choose referrals. To use Right to Choose, ask your GP for a referral to your chosen clinic. The NHS will fund your assessment and treatment at no cost to you. This is a legal right under the NHS Constitution, though some GPs may be unfamiliar with the process. If your GP is hesitant, politely refer them to NHS England guidance on patient choice.
What happens after my ADHD diagnosis?
If you're diagnosed with ADHD, your clinician will discuss treatment options including medication, therapy, and lifestyle strategies. If medication is recommended, you'll begin a titration period to find the right medication and dosage. Your clinic can provide ongoing prescriptions and monitoring, or arrange a shared care agreement with your GP. Most people see significant improvement within the first few months of starting treatment.
Do private ADHD clinics offer online assessments?
Yes, many clinics in this region offer secure video consultations for ADHD assessment. Online assessments are just as thorough as in-person appointments and are particularly convenient if you have mobility issues, live far from the clinic, or have difficulty taking time off work. The clinician will conduct the same detailed interview and assessments via video call.
Will my GP accept a private ADHD diagnosis?
Most GPs will accept a diagnosis from a registered psychiatrist at a CQC-regulated private clinic. All clinics listed on this site meet these criteria. Your diagnostic report will include detailed clinical findings and treatment recommendations that your GP can use to support ongoing care. Many clinics also offer shared care agreements where they continue to prescribe medication in partnership with your GP.
Can adults get assessed for ADHD, or is it just for children?
Yes, most private clinics in West Midlands assess both adults and children for ADHD. Adult ADHD is increasingly recognized, and many people aren't diagnosed until adulthood when symptoms impact their work, relationships, or daily functioning. The assessment process for adults focuses on current symptoms as well as evidence of ADHD in childhood.
