ADHD assessment, testing and diagnosis in Leicester: the local picture

Nearly all providers in our comparison assess Leicester residents online, with in-person options in the Midlands including Birmingham and Nottingham. Private adult assessments serving Leicester typically publish fees from around £395 to £1,500; Right to Choose remains free via GP referral. The comparison below shows the current published waits and prices side by side.
People search for this in different ways — an ADHD test, online ADHD testing, an adult ADHD diagnosis, or an ADD assessment (the older name). In practice these all point to the same thing: a structured diagnostic assessment with a qualified clinician. That is what every provider listed below offers people in Leicester, online or in person.

ADHD assessment in Leicester — frequently asked questions
What's the NHS ADHD wait in Leicester?
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust covers adult ADHD assessment for Leicester. Check the trust's website for the current figure.
Can I use Right to Choose in Leicester?
Yes — Right to Choose is available to NHS-registered patients in England, including Leicester.
Will Leicester GPs do shared care?
Shared care varies by GP and PCN. Always confirm before booking.
Are there in-person ADHD clinics in Leicester?
A small number of regional clinics serve the East Midlands; most capacity is online-first via UK-wide providers.
What does an ADHD assessment cost in Leicester?
Adult assessments from providers serving Leicester typically cost between £500 and £1,500.
How much is a private ADHD assessment in Leicester?
Published adult assessment fees for providers serving Leicester currently run from roughly £395 to £1,500, mostly delivered online. In-person assessment is available in the wider Midlands. Titration and follow-up appointments are usually billed separately — check the year-one total, not just the headline fee.
Can I get an NHS-funded ADHD assessment in Leicester without the local waiting list?
Often, yes — via NHS Right to Choose. If you are registered with a GP in England you can ask to be referred to any provider holding an NHS contract for ADHD assessment, which can carry a shorter wait than the local pathway. Compare providers' current Right to Choose waits before naming one to your GP.
Do Leicester GPs accept shared care after a private ADHD diagnosis?
It varies by practice. Shared care is voluntary for GPs, and acceptance differs across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Before booking, ask your practice whether they accept shared care from your shortlisted provider — choosing a provider with a strong shared-care record materially improves your chances.
Is an ADHD test the same as an ADHD assessment?
Mostly, yes — "ADHD test" is the everyday phrase, and clinics call it a diagnostic assessment. A free online ADHD test or screener (a short questionnaire) can suggest whether a full assessment is worth pursuing, but it cannot diagnose you. Only a diagnostic assessment with a qualified clinician — online or in person — can do that, and that is what the providers on this page offer people in Leicester. ADD is simply the older name for what is now diagnosed as ADHD, most often the inattentive type.
