Private diagnosis/local private diagnosis providers 

Private diagnosis for ADHD/Autism: 

 

Some people may wish to seek an independent or private assessment. When considering an independent or private assessment for neurodiverse conditions (including ADHD and Autism), it’s important to do your research and ensure the provider is appropriately qualified.   

 

It can be useful to:  

• Consider discussing with your GP  

• Check the CQC website for when provider was last inspected - https://www.cqc.org.uk/ 

• Check if they are with a registered body such as the HealthCare Professional Council (HCPC) - https://www.hcpc-uk.org/check-the-register/ 

• Check if they are registered on Company House – https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company 

 

If you’re thinking about getting a private or independent assessment, these are typically paid for by the individual and not by the NHS. Costs can vary, so make sure you fully understand what’s included.  

   

Your GP or pharmacist can discuss with you any ongoing prescription charges and your responsibilities for payment. This includes costs for medication reviews.
