Getting an ADHD Diagnosis in Norwich
Your GP can refer you to the NHS ADHD service, though waiting lists in Norwich are currently running at 2–4 years. Many patients choose to go private or use the NHS Right to Choose scheme for faster access. You can ask your GP to refer you to the Norwich NHS ADHD Service. It is worth asking specifically about the NHS Right to Choose option at the time of referral, as not all GPs proactively offer this.
Private ADHD clinics in Norwich offer a significantly faster route to diagnosis, with most assessments available within 2–8 weeks of booking. A private assessment typically costs £680–£1,200 and includes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, a written report, and in most cases a GP letter. Several clinics in Norwich can also prescribe ADHD medication directly, removing the need to wait for an NHS psychiatrist.
Under the NHS Right to Choose scheme, patients registered with an English GP can ask to be referred to any CQC-registered ADHD clinic — including private providers. This means you can access private ADHD assessment at no cost to yourself. Learn how NHS Right to Choose works →
