The assessment follows a two-stage process.
The first stage is an initial screening, which includes psychometric questionnaires and a review of relevant background information, such as school reports where available.
This involves:
Where a full assessment is indicated, this process results in a detailed written assessment report, typically provided within three weeks of the final appointment. A brief employer letter can also be provided where appropriate.
The two-stage approach allows screening out where ADHD is not indicated, helping to avoid unnecessary assessment and cost.
A £250 advance fee is required to secure the initial screening appointment. This fee is payable at the time of booking and covers the Part A appointment, screening measures, and administrative preparation.
If it is agreed that you proceed to the full assessment, the remaining balance of £745 will be invoiced. This covers the Part B appointment, report writing, and any necessary correspondence with external providers.
Appointment dates can be changed without charge where adequate notice is given. Cancellations within 48 hours may result in a partial refund to account for costs already incurred, such as room bookings for face to face appointments.
If ADHD is not indicated at screening, clients do not usually proceed to the full assessment. This decision is made collaboratively, with space to discuss next steps and alternative support options where helpful.
NeuroNest does not offer in-house prescribing. However, I work with trusted partner organisations who can provide medication to eligible clients following their own medical assessment.
If medication is part of your reason for seeking an assessment, options may include private prescribing services, Right to Choose providers, or your local NHS ADHD service. Waiting times for medication can vary significantly depending on provider and location.
