Birmingham & NHS waits

Your local ADHD assessment options in Birmingham

In Birmingham, both NHS routes to an ADHD assessment are heavily backed up. The standard NHS pathway commonly involves waits of two to six years. NHS Right to Choose can be faster, but during 2025-2026 Integrated Care Boards across England have introduced funding limits on Right to Choose providers, and in a number of areas new bookings have slowed or been capped. A private assessment gives people in Birmingham a faster, predictable alternative when the NHS routes are stalled.

Good questions

Private ADHD assessment in Birmingham: FAQ

How much is a private ADHD assessment in Birmingham?
Private ADHD assessments typically range from around £500 to £2,500 depending on the clinic and what is included. ThinkBetter shows indicative pricing from your matched clinic up front, so there are no surprises before you book.
Do I need a GP referral to be assessed in Birmingham?
No referral is needed to start. Take the free screening first; if a full assessment looks worthwhile we match you with a CQC-registered clinic that can assess you privately without a GP referral.
Will my GP accept a private ADHD diagnosis?
Matched clinics produce thorough, NICE-compliant, GP-ready reports. Whether a GP offers shared care is at their discretion and never guaranteed — our quality-governance approach exists so reports stand up when a GP reviews them.
How quickly can I be assessed?
Many matched clinics offer first appointments within weeks rather than the years common on NHS waiting lists. The free screening takes about five minutes, and your clinic confirms assessment timings before you book.
