What is  ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting both adults and children. With the right treatment, adults with ADHD can lead fulfilling lives without their symptoms significantly impacting their daily routines. However, before effective treatment can begin, an accurate diagnosis is essential. At I Straker Consultants, we offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for adults in London, Leeds, Liverpool and across the UK via video link,

ADHD Assessment Process

Our full adult ADHD assessment is a thorough process, including a full psychiatric assessment, a review of your physical health, family history, and the specific impact and nature of your symptoms. This holistic approach ensures we can provide you with an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

Our pricing explained

We understand that accessibility to ADHD assessments is crucial for many individuals seeking support. That's why we have thoughtfully priced our assessments significantly lower than the average cost of £950 in the UK. This ethical pricing strategy ensures that more people can access the essential evaluations they need without facing financial barriers. By prioritising affordability, we aim to promote mental health awareness and provide a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to pursue their diagnosis and treatment without the burden of excessive costs.

In the UK, private assessments can range up to £2,000 or more in some cases.

At our clinic, we also prioritise making ADHD titration accessible to everyone by offering our initial prescriber review at just £100, followed by follow-up titration appointments at £80, which also include therapeutic support. This pricing reflects our commitment to ethical care, as the average cost for similar services can exceed £300 per appointment in private settings. By keeping our fees significantly lower, we aim to ensure that individuals seeking ADHD management and support are not deterred by high costs, ultimately fostering better mental health outcomes. Our goal is to provide high-quality care that is both effective and affordable, making it easier for more people to receive the support they need.

In the UK, private titration sessions can range from £250 to £500 per appointment, which does not include therapeutic support. We believe that therapy alongside medication is incredibly important for the titration process and as such, is included within our treatment packages.

 

Standard assessment

Our assessments are carried out using NICE guidelines by our assistant psychologists, with the diagnosis being made by our Doctor through an MDT (Multidisciplinary Team Meeting). A diagnosis is not made at the appointment, but we aim to provide you with your diagnosis and report around 21 days of your assessment. Dependant on our capacity, this process can be expedited, taking 7 working days, for an additional £150.

A standard assessment will take up to 90 minutes. We will take a psychiatric and developmental history. You will have an opportunity to raise any questions you have about ADHD and any concerns about your mental health. Please note the assessment can be emotional and triggering for some due to the nature of the questions, so please give us a call if you are unsure before booking.

To improve the reliability of the assessment it would be helpful but not imperative, to bring somebody who knows you well to the assessment, especially if they can remember you as a child. It is also helpful to bring any old school reports that you may have. If a formal diagnosis of ADHD and / or other mental health problems are made an intervention plan will be discussed and treatment offered. Titration and optional follow up appointments are not included. Please read below for the next-steps process if a diagnosis is made.

Reassessment

For individuals with a previous ADHD diagnosis, a shorter reassessment may suffice to continue or restart treatment. You will need to provide information regarding your past treatment, which we recommend gathering before your appointment. Having someone close to you present can also be beneficial, as they may notice symptoms you aren’t aware of. A treatment plan will be discussed based on your current diagnosis.

Our assessments process for this is the same as a standard assessment.

ECG Service 

If you are diagnosed with ADHD you will need to undertake an ECG before medication can be prescribed. ECG's can be carried out for free via your GP and the NHS. I Straker Consultants can carry out an ECG at our Liverpool clinic if the NHS wait is untenable. The cost of an ECG is £100.

Follow-up/Titration

If after a positive diagnosis, you decide that you would like to go down the medication route, a prescriber review appointment is needed to assess the effects of medication and to set up a treatment plan. This appointment is £100 (if you are having an ECG with us, we can do a joint session at £200).

It is not possible to predict how many follow-up appointments will be needed to optimise ADHD treatment but where treatment is straightforward it around 6 appointments. These therapy & titration appointments are £80 each, or can be block-booked for £360, saving £120 in total. If you were to stabilise in less than 6 sessions, any overpayment will be refunded.

Once you are stable on the medication, we will apply for shared care with your GP. If the application is agreed and your GP starts providing you with your prescriptions, you will remain under the care of I Straker Consultants and a 6 month follow-up is required to be compliant with NICE Guidelines (£100 per appointment) . Without follow-up from a specialist service it is unlikely that your GP will continue to issue prescriptions. Where I Straker Consultants issues prescriptions, a 6 monthly follow-up appointment is required. These 6 month reviews are £100.

Prescriptions

We can provide you with your prescription on the day that you attend your appointment at our clinic, or we can send out your prescription using royal mail if you attend remotely, which will be charged at £8 on top of your sessional cost.

Repeat prescriptions are £25 plus P&P of £8 if sent out to you. Someone will need to be at your chosen address to be able to sign for your prescription delivery.

All prescriptions are sent via Royal Mail and tracking numbers should be available to send to you if requested.

 

Shared care

I Straker Consultants are proud to offer shared care agreements between ourselves and our clients GP's. 

Please contact your GP to ensure they are happy to enter shared care agreements with private services. If the shared care agreement is accepted, you will need to attend a medication review with ourselves every 6 months, at a cost of £100. We currently have over 300 active shared care agreements with NHS GPs.

It is important to discuss your booking for an ADHD assessment with your GP. Your GP is the most important healthcare professional involved in your care as they collate all information about your medical history and co-ordinate your care with other services. I Straker Consultants LTD will need to collaborate with your GP for prescribing and if investigations such as ECG’s are needed.
