ADHD Assessment Changes – Feb 2026

ADHD assessments are changing

From February 2026, trained GPs and Nurse Practitioners will be able to diagnose and treat ADHD for adults aged 18+.

🚫 Our clinic will NOT be offering ADHD diagnostic assessments

 

What you need to know:

While this change improves access, ADHD is still a complex condition that requires time and care to diagnosis properly.

• ADHD assessments require longer, specialised appointments

• An assessment takes at least 90 minutes over 2 or more visits

• ADHD cannot be diagnosed in a standard 15-minute GP appointment

• ADHD assessments cost more than a usual GP visit

• All clinicians follow a national clinical framework

 

Children & young people
Assessment and treatment will continue to involve paediatric or psychiatry specialists or multidisciplinary teams.

Talk to your clinician during your appointment. If appropriate, they can refer you to another provider.
