Personalised ADHD Assessments

ADHD often affects performance at school, work, and home. If you think you may have ADHD, an assessment can help you understand its impact, manage symptoms, and navigate associated challenges.

At Private Medical Clinic, we recognize the difficulties of living with ADHD. Our specialized face-to-face assessments are designed to diagnose ADHD in individuals of all ages, ensuring you receive the support you need to thrive. Our diagnostic assessments meet NHS standards and determine if ADHD explains your symptoms.

Signs and symptoms of ADHD for adults

ADHD can have a significant impact on various aspects of your life, affecting your ability to focus, concentrate, and manage tasks. If you or your child are experiencing symptoms such as lack of attention to detail, poor organisational skills, difficulty completing tasks, or impulsive behaviours, it may be time to consider an ADHD assessment. Our expert team is here to provide you with a clear diagnosis and the support you need to navigate the challenges of ADHD.

Common signs of ADHD include:

  • Impulsiveness and disorganisation
  • Challenges in prioritising and focusing
  • Poor time management
  • Difficulty with multitasking
  • Excessive restlessness
  • Low tolerance for frustration
  • Frequent mood swings
  • A short temper

Our Process

Pre-Assessment Questionnaire

Screening Appointment / Telephone Call

Full Diagnostic Assessment & QbTest

Feedback & Written Report

Step 1: Pre-Assessment Questionnaire

Private Medical Clinic offers a triage assessment to determine whether a full diagnostic assessment of ADHD is warranted.

The triage assessment involves completion of screening questionnaires

It’s best to have someone who has known you well for a long time—like a parent, sibling, close friend, partner, or employer—help you with the questions. Their perspective is important since some questions will address your early development and school history

Step 2: Screening Appointment/Telephone Call

Next is a follow-up video call with a clinical psychiatrist. This will provide an opportunity for discussion around the reason for referral and your current strengths and needs.

Together, you will also review the outcome of the screening questionnaires and by the end of the call, a decision can be made about whether a full ADHD assessment is required.

Step 3: Full Diagnostic Assessment & QbTest

Following the screening appointment, our full diagnostic assessment uses a combination of standardised assessment measures and clinical interviews to gather information relevant to your assessment.

The full assessment can be performed via video call or in person at our London clinic.

Where indicated, the clinical psychologist may choose to use the Qb check. The result of this computer test provides objective data for the clinician to consider alongside other information gathered.

Step 4: Feedback & Written Report

The clinical psychologist leading your assessment will then review all of the information that has been gathered to confirm the outcome of the assessment, which they will share with your during a follow-up feedback appointment. A comprehensive diagnostic report, including recommendations, will follow.

We don’t just stop at diagnosing ADHD; we also aim to understand the functional impact of the condition and screen for any co-occurring disorders that may be present. This holistic approach allows us to provide tailored treatment plans that address the full spectrum of your needs.

Treatment Options

  • Our psychologists are available to provide cognitive behavioural therapy that can help to improve symptoms including organisational skills, time management, and problem-solving techniques.
  • Our consultant psychiatrists can provide prescriptions for medications in a titration consultation.
  • We can also provide recommendations around lifestyle changes, mindfulness techniques and other strategies to help you cope with any symptoms.
