Who Are Our Leicester ADHD ASSESSMENTS FOR?
Who Are Our Leicester ADHD ASSESSMENTS FOR?
Private ADHD assessments in Leicester are for adults across the city and county who want a clear, timely evaluation from a qualified doctor, without waiting years on an NHS referral list.
NHS ADHD services in Leicester and Leicestershire are managed through Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. The trust provides good specialist care but operates under significant demand, and waiting times from GP referral to first ADHD assessment appointment have been lengthy across the county, with patients commonly waiting two years or more.
Our Leicester ADHD assessments are suitable for:
- Adults who have suspected ADHD for years but have never been formally assessed.
- Those referred by a Leicester GP but facing long NHS waiting lists.
- People whose ADHD symptoms affect their work, relationships, or daily life.
- Adults assessed as children who want a formal adult diagnosis on record.
- Anyone who needs a written ADHD report for an employer or university.
- Those already diagnosed privately who want medication initiated or reviewed.
At the end of your assessment, your doctor will give you a clear diagnosis and a plan for next steps, including medication where clinically appropriate.

NHS ADHD services in Leicester are delivered through Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. The trust covers a large, diverse population across the city and county, and waiting times from GP referral to the first ADHD assessment appointment have been consistently long, with patients across Leicester regularly waiting two years or more for a clinic appointment.
Private ADHD assessment in Leicester gives you access to a qualified doctor within days. Your assessment follows the same clinical standards as an NHS assessment and meets NICE criteria for adult ADHD diagnosis in adults.
A private ADHD diagnosis is accepted by most NHS GP practices for shared care, allowing your GP to take over prescribing of ADHD medication on the NHS once our doctor has initiated it. We recommend confirming the shared care policy with your GP and Leicestershire and Rutland ICB before booking.
Many patients in Leicester use a private assessment to get a diagnosis and start medication without further delay, then transition to NHS prescribing through their GP. If you need a written diagnostic report for an employer, a university or a legal matter, your doctor can provide one at the same appointment.
