A Welsh ADHD service, online or in person
Many of the private ADHD providers you will find from Cardiff are national services run from England. ADH-Me is based in Wales, works with Welsh GP practices, and understands how shared care works here. You will see the same clinician for your assessment and every review after it.
For the current NHS position, see NHS ADHD waiting times for Cardiff and Vale on our Wales waiting times explorer.
Your NHS route in Cardiff
On the NHS, adults and children in Cardiff are referred by their GP to services run by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. Because you live in Wales, NHS Right to Choose does not apply, so the main alternative to the NHS waiting list is a private assessment. Why Wales is different.
Getting to your appointment
Most people in Cardiff have their assessment and reviews online by video, so there is no need to travel. We also work in person across South and West Wales, subject to availability, including visiting schools, so please ask about meeting face to face when you get in touch.
Areas we often see people from nearby: Cardiff, Penarth, Barry, Cowbridge, Pontypridd, Caerphilly, Newport.
What happens after the assessment
You get a detailed report following NICE guideline NG87 and a feedback session. If ADHD is diagnosed and medication is right for you, our ADHD specialist prescribers can prescribe it and adjust the dose with you through titration, then write to your GP to request shared care. Practices in Wales decide shared care themselves, so we explain the position clearly from the start.
