Support at every stage

Support at every stage of your ADHD journey

01

Wondering if you have ADHD?

Start with a structured private assessment — a conversation about your symptoms, history and daily life with a GMC-registered doctor. No GP referral required.

02

Already diagnosed?

Bring your existing diagnosis. FasTreat completes a standard assessment to confirm your current symptoms and treatment history, then can support ongoing care — including helping facilitate a Shared Care handover to your NHS GP later. This is never guaranteed and is always at your GP's discretion.

03

Need ongoing support?

Continued follow-up, titration and progress monitoring, delivered online.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I book a private ADHD assessment in London without a GP referral?

Yes. Book directly and self-pay — no GP referral needed for FasTreat's private route.

What is NHS Right to Choose, and how is it different from FasTreat?

Right to Choose is an NHS-funded route your GP can refer you through to an eligible provider, where clinically appropriate. It applies to initial assessments only and requires a GP referral. Referral routes vary by ICB. FasTreat is a separate, self-funded private service.

Will my GP accept Shared Care after a private assessment?

This is never guaranteed. Acceptance is entirely at your GP's discretion, typically only after your medication has stabilised (3–6 months of titration).

How do I check my clinician's credentials?

Every clinician's name, title and registration number is shown before your appointment. Verify doctors on the GMC register, nurses on the NMC register.

Can medication be prescribed online?

Prescribing decisions are made by your clinician based on clinical assessment — a prescription is never guaranteed and depends on safety considerations and professional judgement.

Is FasTreat covered by the NHS or private insurance?

FasTreat is self-pay and not NHS-funded. We can provide receipts for private insurance claims, but reimbursement depends entirely on your policy — check with your insurer first.

How long will I wait for an NHS ADHD assessment in London?

Waiting times vary by ICB area, local service and referral route. National data from NHS England's ADHD Management Information shows referral volumes and wait patterns; the independent ADHD Taskforce report found that waits vary significantly by area, with some patients waiting well over a year. Check with your GP or local ICB for current guidance.

What should I do in an emergency?

FasTreat is not an emergency service. For urgent symptoms, call NHS 111, or 999 in a life-threatening emergency.
