ADHD Journey
"Navigating Your Path to ADHD Assessment:
Take Your Next Step Confidently!"
​
If you suspect you have ADHD symptoms and are considering an assessment, follow this clear pathway:
​
Start by discussing your concerns with your doctor. If necessary, request a referral to the Adult ADHD NHS Assessment Service. Take along your completed Adult ADHD Self-Report Tool.
​
Alternatively, explore a Private Assessment through national organisations. If medication is a treatment option, check with your GP about prescribing medications through a shared-care agreement after your psychiatrist determines the appropriate titration (Right medication and dosage).
​
Right to Choose Option: If you cannot be seen at an NHS ADHD service within 18 weeks, you can use this option through your GP.
