If you live in Wales, NHS Right to Choose is not an option for you, and NHS waiting times can be long. ADH-Me offers a full private ADHD assessment for adults and children, online anywhere in Wales, with in-person appointments in South and West Wales subject to availability.
In England, many people get an ADHD assessment faster through Right to Choose, which lets them pick an NHS-funded provider. That right is part of the NHS in England. If you live in Wales and your GP is in Wales, it does not apply to you.
Your NHS route in Wales is a GP referral to the adult or children's neurodevelopmental service run by your health board:
NHS ADHD assessment waiting times vary across health boards in Wales, with some adults reporting waits of anywhere from one to ten years. For many, this means facing years of uncertainty without the answers or support they need. See the latest figures for each board on our ADHD waiting times in Wales map.
BBC Wales has reported on the experiences of women who have turned to private ADHD assessments after being told they could face lengthy NHS waiting times. For people across Wales, a private ADHD assessment can offer a quicker route to understanding their ADHD, getting answers and accessing personalised support.
After diagnosis, many people find they have nobody to prescribe. A diagnosis alone does not provide medication. Our ADHD specialist is an independent prescriber, so if medication is right for you we can start it, adjust the dose with you, then write to your GP. Read our guide to shared care in Wales before you book anywhere.
Most assessments and reviews work well by video, so you do not need to travel. In-person appointments across South and West Wales, including school-based appointments, can be arranged subject to availability.

No. Right to Choose is part of the NHS in England. If you live in Wales and are registered with a Welsh GP, your NHS route is through your local health board, so the main alternative to the NHS waiting list is a private assessment.
It depends on your health board and your age, and it changes over time. Many adults in Wales report waiting more than a year. Your GP practice or health board can tell you the current wait where you live.
A private diagnosis carries most weight when the assessment follows NICE guideline NG87 and the report is detailed. ADH-Me assessments follow NG87. Whether your GP prescribes afterwards under shared care is a separate decision made by your practice.
No. Assessments and follow-up reviews can be done online by video from anywhere in Wales. In-person appointments in South and West Wales, including at schools, can be arranged subject to availability.
An ADH-Me assessment is £895, or £1,395 including medication titration. Prices elsewhere in Wales vary, so check what each price includes before you compare.
