Expertise and Training ClinicalPsych-support Clinicians: Expertise and Training One of the main reasons for Clinicalpsych-support success lies in the experience our clinicians bring to ADHD assessments. They possess a wealth of experience and specialist training in ADHD diagnosis, ensuring they are well-versed in the latest research and diagnostic techniques. This expertise is fundamental in providing accurate assessments for both adults and children. ‍ Clinicalpsych-support team comprises of clinical psychologists, Neurodevelopmental Specialist and psychiatrists who are not only experts in mental health but also possess a deep understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions. ‍ Our clinicians consider the context in which the individual operates, understanding that ADHD assessments are not only about the individual's traits but also about how these traits interact with their environment. ‍ To gather information, our clinicians conduct in-depth interviews with patients or parents to understand how ADHD symptoms may impact the patients' daily lives. Additionally, direct observations, whether in a clinical setting or through collaboration with other professionals such as teachers, contribute valuable insights to the assessment process. ‍ Transparent Communication We understand the anxiety and concerns that can surround ADHD assessments. Therefore, ClinicalPsych-support focuses on transparent communication with patients and parents throughout the assessment process. Our clinicians ensure that individuals and families are informed and actively involved at every stage, fostering collaboration and trust. ‍ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect each individual differently. The proper diagnosis means you can move forward confidently, knowing you can access the expert support you need to thrive. ‍

ADHD Adult Assessments Who will carry out the assessment? The diagnostic assessment is carried out by a specialist that has specific training, qualifications and experience in assessing ADHD who are experts in identifying ADHD in people aged 18 and over. Our specialists belong to governing bodies and have years of experience in carrying out ADHD Assessments. Will a private diagnosis be accepted by the NHS? Our assessments fully comply with NICE guidelines, and we use the highest quality and well-regarded clinical model within our service. We are also in the process of partnership with trusted NHS providers to support NHS Trusts and ICBs with waiting lists. This means a diagnosis made by our service will be accepted by the NHS. Where will I be seen Our assessments are carried out online with our specialists to ensure that patients from all over the country are waiting no longer than 4 weeks. We currently have our clinic in the heart of Birmingham and it is designed to be as comfortable, calming and friendly as possible. What will happen in the assessment? The diagnostic assessment is carried out by either a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, who are experts in identifying ADHD in adults. During the appointment, they will carry out a thorough clinical interview using the DIVA-2, which covers questions about how your symptoms or traits are impacting on your life at home and at work, your relationships, plus what you were like as a child. They will compile all of the information that has been gathered during and prior to the assessment and consider this against the DSM-5 criteria to determine whether you do, or don't, meet the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD. The outcome will be explained to you on the day, along with recommendations for adjustments at home and work as well as support options available to you. What will happen in the assessment?

The outcome will be explained to you on the day, along with recommendations for adjustments at home and work as well as support options available to you. What post-diagnostic support can I access? If the results of the assessment indicate that you have ADHD, we will go through all the relevant support options with you. This usually looks like a ‘menu’ of possibilities (including coaching and therapeutic options) and we'll help you select those you feel would work best for you. If you choose to opt for medication to treat your symptoms, a bespoke report will be directed to your GP who will assist you. What happens if I'm not diagnosed? Our assessment process includes a free screening stage, carried out by our triage team. They will look at information contained within your referral, as well as scores from a well-researched and clinically validated screening tool. ‍‍This information will show whether ADHD is indicated, or not. And even though it’s not diagnostic, it will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with a full assessment before making any financial commitment. However, it is important to understand that despite the screening process being positive for ADHD, sometimes the outcome of the assessment will be a non-diagnosis. ‍‍This means you don't meet the threshold to be diagnosed with ADHD. If this is the case for you, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. If it's not ADHD then why do I feel different? We know that often clients attend their assessment with the feeling that the process will confirm something they already know. So, coming away from an assessment having been told that ADHD isn't diagnosed can be quite distressing and/or difficult to understand. ADHD can be tricky to diagnose later in life, and often symptoms or traits of ADHD can overlap with other psychological or psychiatric conditions e. g. anxiety, trauma or attachment disorder. Choosing an appropriately experienced and skilled clinician will mean that they can carefully unpick your symptoms and work with you to identify whether the way you feel is due to a neurodevelopmental condition like ADHD, or because of some other difficulties you may have faced in your life. If you do not receive a diagnosis, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. I don't have anyone to help with the pre-assessment questionnaires, will this affect my assessment? We ask someone who knows you well to support the assessment process by giving extra information. This is because the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5) states that to meet the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD, symptoms/traits/behaviours must have been present from childhood. Put simply, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition caused by physiological differences in the brain, so will have been with you all your life. However, we understand that some people won't have anyone to support the process, and while this can make it trickier to conclude the assessment, it won't prevent the assessment from going ahead. If you aren't able to find someone to support you, we would advise you to bring as much information as you can that shows your strengths and needs as a child, for example old school reports. How long will I have to wait before I am assessed? This often depends upon how quickly we receive the pre-assessment information, but once we've received all questionnaires, we aim to provide an assessment appointment within four to six weeks. Does ADHD look different in women? While the assessment process and diagnostic criteria are the same across the gender spectrum, it is true that ADHD in women can present very differently than in men. The criteria on which a diagnosis is made is largely known to be associated with symptoms in men and this can mean that women who have ADHD may go undiagnosed. Men often present their symptoms in a more obvious or ‘stereotypical’ way, for example they may present with more challenging behaviours, be more physically hyperactive or boisterous. Whereas women may have more subtle traits such as being easily distracted, having a tendency to daydream, being disorganised and forgetful. Having assessed thousands of individuals for ADHD, we are used to seeing it present in many different ways. Our team are very well trained in understanding the female presentation of ADHD and are fully aware that traits and symptoms can be trickier to see in women and girls. Please visit our article on ‘female profile’. Autism adults Will a private diagnosis be accepted by the NHS? Our assessments fully comply with NICE guidelines, and we use the highest quality and well-regarded clinical model within our service. We are also approaching Trusted NHS providers and have capacity and resources to support different NHS Trusts and ICBs with waiting lists. This means that a diagnosis made by our service will be accepted by the NHS. Who will carry out the assessment? The assessment is carried out by one of our specialists who are trained, qualified and experienced in carrying out neurodevelopmental assessments. Our team are expertly trained and registered healthcare professionals in diagnosing autism in people aged 18 and over and they are all governed by registered bodies such as NMC etc. Where will I be seen Our assessments are carried out online with our specialists to ensure that patients from all over the country are waiting no longer than 2 weeks. We currently have our clinic in the heart of Birmingham and it is designed to be as comfortable, calming and friendly as possible. What will happen in the assessment? During the appointment, we will carry out a thorough clinical interview, which will cover a range of issues relating to your life experience. Our aim is to make you feel heard and understood. As autism can present in a similar way to other conditions, our job is to differentiate between those and autism itself, in order to give you an accurate opinion on your presentation. Once the assessment is complete, you will have time to ask questions about the outcome. What post-diagnostic support can I access? Following your autism assessment, whether diagnosed or not, our expert team will guide you on what support options are available to you at ClinicalPsych-support. These can include therapeutic treatment packages, provided by clinical and counselling specialists within our wellbeing service, or, where clinically appropriate, we can ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment. What happens if I'm not diagnosed? Our assessment process includes a free screening stage, carried out by our triage team and led by our specialists. They will look at information contained within your referral, as well as scores from a well-researched and clinically validated screening questionnaire. ‍This information will show whether autism is indicated, or not. And even though it’s not diagnostic, it will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with a full assessment before making any financial commitment. However, it is important to understand that despite the screening process being positive for autism, sometimes the outcome of the assessment will be a non-diagnosis. ‍This means you don't meet the threshold to be diagnosed with autism. If this is the case for you, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment, should this be clinically appropriate. If it's not autism, then why do I feel different? What do I do now? We know that often clients attend their assessment with the feeling that the process will confirm something they already know. So, coming away from an assessment having been told that autism isn't diagnosed can be quite distressing and difficult to understand. Autism can be tricky to diagnose later in life, and often symptoms or traits of autism can overlap with other psychological or psychiatric conditions e. g. PTSD or Bipolar. Choosing an appropriately experienced and skilled clinician will mean that they can carefully unpick your symptoms and work with you to identify whether the way you feel is due to a neurodevelopmental condition like autism, or because of some other difficulties you may have faced in your life. If you do not receive a diagnosis, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. Is autism different in women? While the assessment process and diagnostic criteria are the same across the gender spectrum , it is true that autistic women can present very differently. The criteria on which a diagnosis is made is largely known to be associated with symptoms in men and this can mean that women who are autistic may go undiagnosed. Men often present their symptoms in a more obvious or ‘stereotypical’ way, whereas women may have more subtle traits. This is because women often learn how to hide their symptoms (mask) in order to fit in with their peers. Having assessed thousands of people for autism, we are used to seeing it present in many different ways. Our assessments are designed to take masking and camouflaging into account – especially in women. Our team are very well trained in understanding the female presentation of autism and know that traits and symptoms can be trickier to see in women. I don’t have anyone to help with the pre-assessment questionnaires, will this affect my assessment? We ask someone who knows you well to support the assessment process by giving extra information.

If you aren't able to find someone to support you, we would advise you to bring as much information as you can that shows your strengths and needs as a child, for example old school reports. How long is the waiting list? This often depends upon how quickly we receive the pre-assessment information, but once we've received all questionnaires, we aim to provide an assessment appointment within four to six weeks. Where do you carry out the assessments? We are able to quickly mobilise our services anywhere in the country and can use NHS estates or provide our own. What specialist assessments do you provide to the NHS? We are expert providers of autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments for patients across the lifespan. What quality and governance measures do you have in place? We are proud to be completing our application for the Care Quality Commission and ensure we apply the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act (2008) across the service, whether activity is ‘regulated’ or not. We also have robust clinical governance processes in place to ensure safe, efficient and effective care for our patients. What clinical models do you use? Are they NICE compliant? Yes, all our assessments are fully NICE compliant. We utilise different clinical models depending on the age of the patient and the type of assessment. With access to a full multidisciplinary team of clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, we are able to adapt our clinical models to suit the needs of your patient group and the budget available. How quickly could you help us? We can mobilise new contracts within weeks. With the support of our experienced leadership team, we can ensure the most efficient use of your time. How do you provide assurance around activity and quality during the contract period? We believe in collaboration, transparency and ensuring an open dialogue with our NHS commissioners. As such, we have developed what we believe to be an unrivalled reporting process, carried out by our dedicated business intelligence team. It is centred around activity to target, compliance with key performance indicators, patient feedback and satisfaction. We routinely receive exceptional feedback from our patients and service users. We are looking forward to receiving similar feedback from Trust and ICB colleagues on the quality of our activity reports. Can you assess for people of all ages? Yes. Our neurodevelopmental service provides assessments to children from two (six for ADHD) to 18 years of age, with no upper limit for adult patients. (We have assessed patients who are over 80 years old!) Are you CQC registered? We are proud to state that we are in the process of submitting our application to the CQC to become registered for treatment of disease, disorder or injury. This means that in addition to providing diagnostic assessments, we can also provide bespoke treatment and aftercare services. I've had my assessment; how long will it take to receive my report? Your full diagnostic report will usually be sent out to you within eight weeks of the conclusion of the assessment. We can provide a short letter confirming the diagnostic outcome while you wait for the full report. Just ask us. Can I access post-diagnostic support through ClinicalPsych-Support ? Anyone can access our bespoke aftercare plans online at ClinicalPsych-support, following an assessment patients will recieve a feedback appointment to discuss their diagnosis and possible aftercare options should they then wish to continue receiving support. At this current time our assessments are carried out online with our current clinic space based at the heart of Birmingham. Details of our self-funded bespoke aftercare and treatment plans can be found when speaking with our specialists. Some cases, following an ADHD assessment, we may be able to provide treatment with medication, depending on the type of arrangement we have with your local Trust or ICB. Our clinicians will be able to provide further information on suitable treatment options following the assessment if you/your child are diagnosed with ADHD. We offer support and care alongside your journey. Each individual is unique. We all fit into the context of our world, our history, our genetics, and values and beliefs. Many of us are neurodiverse. And while the neurological differences that make us individuals can bring challenges, we believe that with understanding, empathy and expert support, everyone can thrive. We want to understand you. We want to support you.

NHS How we can help How we can help We know that NHS Trusts all over the UK are often faced with high demand for neurodevelopmental assessments and, as a result, struggle with long waiting lists.

This means shorter/ no waiting times in comparison to the typical wait (often 2-3 years) With years of experience in working with Trusts and ICBs, we can share our learning and help with all aspects of the initiative: from developing a service specification, to data sharing assurances and contracting, through to mobilisation, delivery and exit planning.

What is a QB Test QbCheck is a computer-based test that utilises evidence-based methods to objectively measure attention, activity, and impulsivity—the core symptoms of ADHD. At ADHD 360, we have seamlessly integrated QbCheck into our comprehensive ADHD assessment and treatment process. This invaluable tool significantly enhances our understanding of an individual’s ADHD symptoms. The results obtained from a QbCheck support the creation of personalised treatment plans, ensuring that each individual receives tailored care. To be eligible for a QbCheck, individuals must be between the ages of 6 and 60 and have access to a laptop or computer equipped with a webcam. If you meet the eligibility criteria, QbCheck becomes an integral part of both your pre-assessment to-do list and your ongoing treatment journey. This allows us to evaluate progress, fine-tune treatment plans, and ensure the most effective care throughout your ADHD treatment journey. For more detailed information about QbCheck and its role in the ADHD 360 journey, please visit our QbCheck page here.

Frequently Asked Questions Who will carry out the assessment? The diagnostic assessment is carried out by a specialist that has specific training, qualifications and experience in assessing ADHD who are experts in identifying ADHD in people aged 18 and over. Our specialists belong to governing bodies and have years of experience in carrying out ADHD Assessments. Will a private diagnosis be accepted by the NHS? Our assessments fully comply with NICE guidelines, and we use the highest quality and well-regarded clinical model within our service. We are also in the process of partnership with trusted NHS providers to support NHS Trusts and ICBs with waiting lists. This means a diagnosis made by our service will be accepted by the NHS. Where will I be seen Our assessments are carried out online with our specialists to ensure that patients from all over the country are waiting no longer than 4 weeks. We currently have our clinic in the heart of Birmingham and it is designed to be as comfortable, calming and friendly as possible. What will happen in the assessment? The diagnostic assessment is carried out by either a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, who are experts in identifying ADHD in adults. During the appointment, they will carry out a thorough clinical interview using the DIVA-2, which covers questions about how your symptoms or traits are impacting on your life at home and at work, your relationships, plus what you were like as a child. They will compile all of the information that has been gathered during and prior to the assessment and consider this against the DSM-5 criteria to determine whether you do, or don't, meet the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD. The outcome will be explained to you on the day, along with recommendations for adjustments at home and work as well as support options available to you. What will happen in the assessment? The diagnostic assessment is carried out by either a Neurodevelopmental Specialist, who are experts in identifying ADHD in adults. During the appointment, they will carry out a thorough clinical interview using the DIVA-2, which covers questions about how your symptoms or traits are impacting on your life at home and at work, your relationships, plus what you were like as a child. They will compile all of the information that has been gathered during and prior to the assessment and consider this against the DSM-5 criteria to determine whether you do, or don't, meet the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD. The outcome will be explained to you on the day, along with recommendations for adjustments at home and work as well as support options available to you. What post-diagnostic support can I access? If the results of the assessment indicate that you have ADHD, we will go through all the relevant support options with you. This usually looks like a ‘menu’ of possibilities (including coaching and therapeutic options) and we'll help you select those you feel would work best for you. If you choose to opt for medication to treat your symptoms, a bespoke report will be directed to your GP who will assist you. What happens if I'm not diagnosed? Our assessment process includes a free screening stage, carried out by our triage team. They will look at information contained within your referral, as well as scores from a well-researched and clinically validated screening tool. ‍‍This information will show whether ADHD is indicated, or not. And even though it’s not diagnostic, it will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with a full assessment before making any financial commitment. However, it is important to understand that despite the screening process being positive for ADHD, sometimes the outcome of the assessment will be a non-diagnosis. ‍‍This means you don't meet the threshold to be diagnosed with ADHD. If this is the case for you, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. If it's not ADHD then why do I feel different? We know that often clients attend their assessment with the feeling that the process will confirm something they already know. So, coming away from an assessment having been told that ADHD isn't diagnosed can be quite distressing and/or difficult to understand. ADHD can be tricky to diagnose later in life, and often symptoms or traits of ADHD can overlap with other psychological or psychiatric conditions e. g. anxiety, trauma or attachment disorder. Choosing an appropriately experienced and skilled clinician will mean that they can carefully unpick your symptoms and work with you to identify whether the way you feel is due to a neurodevelopmental condition like ADHD, or because of some other difficulties you may have faced in your life. If you do not receive a diagnosis, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. I don't have anyone to help with the pre-assessment questionnaires, will this affect my assessment? We ask someone who knows you well to support the assessment process by giving extra information. This is because the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5) states that to meet the threshold for a diagnosis of ADHD, symptoms/traits/behaviours must have been present from childhood. Put simply, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition caused by physiological differences in the brain, so will have been with you all your life. However, we understand that some people won't have anyone to support the process, and while this can make it trickier to conclude the assessment, it won't prevent the assessment from going ahead. If you aren't able to find someone to support you, we would advise you to bring as much information as you can that shows your strengths and needs as a child, for example old school reports. How long will I have to wait before I am assessed? This often depends upon how quickly we receive the pre-assessment information, but once we've received all questionnaires, we aim to provide an assessment appointment within four to six weeks. Does ADHD look different in women? While the assessment process and diagnostic criteria are the same across the gender spectrum, it is true that ADHD in women can present very differently than in men. The criteria on which a diagnosis is made is largely known to be associated with symptoms in men and this can mean that women who have ADHD may go undiagnosed. Men often present their symptoms in a more obvious or ‘stereotypical’ way, for example they may present with more challenging behaviours, be more physically hyperactive or boisterous. Whereas women may have more subtle traits such as being easily distracted, having a tendency to daydream, being disorganised and forgetful. Having assessed thousands of individuals for ADHD, we are used to seeing it present in many different ways. Our team are very well trained in understanding the female presentation of ADHD and are fully aware that traits and symptoms can be trickier to see in women and girls. Please visit our article on ‘female profile’. Autism adults Will a private diagnosis be accepted by the NHS? Our assessments fully comply with NICE guidelines, and we use the highest quality and well-regarded clinical model within our service. We are also approaching Trusted NHS providers and have capacity and resources to support different NHS Trusts and ICBs with waiting lists. This means that a diagnosis made by our service will be accepted by the NHS. Who will carry out the assessment? The assessment is carried out by one of our specialists who are trained, qualified and experienced in carrying out neurodevelopmental assessments. Our team are expertly trained and registered healthcare professionals in diagnosing autism in people aged 18 and over and they are all governed by registered bodies such as NMC etc. Where will I be seen Our assessments are carried out online with our specialists to ensure that patients from all over the country are waiting no longer than 2 weeks. We currently have our clinic in the heart of Birmingham and it is designed to be as comfortable, calming and friendly as possible. What will happen in the assessment? During the appointment, we will carry out a thorough clinical interview, which will cover a range of issues relating to your life experience. Our aim is to make you feel heard and understood. As autism can present in a similar way to other conditions, our job is to differentiate between those and autism itself, in order to give you an accurate opinion on your presentation. Once the assessment is complete, you will have time to ask questions about the outcome. What post-diagnostic support can I access? Following your autism assessment, whether diagnosed or not, our expert team will guide you on what support options are available to you at ClinicalPsych-support. These can include therapeutic treatment packages, provided by clinical and counselling specialists within our wellbeing service, or, where clinically appropriate, we can ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment. What happens if I'm not diagnosed? Our assessment process includes a free screening stage, carried out by our triage team and led by our specialists. They will look at information contained within your referral, as well as scores from a well-researched and clinically validated screening questionnaire. ‍This information will show whether autism is indicated, or not. And even though it’s not diagnostic, it will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with a full assessment before making any financial commitment. However, it is important to understand that despite the screening process being positive for autism, sometimes the outcome of the assessment will be a non-diagnosis. ‍This means you don't meet the threshold to be diagnosed with autism. If this is the case for you, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment, should this be clinically appropriate. If it's not autism, then why do I feel different? What do I do now? We know that often clients attend their assessment with the feeling that the process will confirm something they already know. So, coming away from an assessment having been told that autism isn't diagnosed can be quite distressing and difficult to understand. Autism can be tricky to diagnose later in life, and often symptoms or traits of autism can overlap with other psychological or psychiatric conditions e. g. PTSD or Bipolar. Choosing an appropriately experienced and skilled clinician will mean that they can carefully unpick your symptoms and work with you to identify whether the way you feel is due to a neurodevelopmental condition like autism, or because of some other difficulties you may have faced in your life. If you do not receive a diagnosis, our clinical team will still be able to provide recommendations for further support and we may even be able to ask your GP to make an onward referral for another type of assessment should this be clinically appropriate. Is autism different in women? While the assessment process and diagnostic criteria are the same across the gender spectrum , it is true that autistic women can present very differently. The criteria on which a diagnosis is made is largely known to be associated with symptoms in men and this can mean that women who are autistic may go undiagnosed. Men often present their symptoms in a more obvious or ‘stereotypical’ way, whereas women may have more subtle traits. This is because women often learn how to hide their symptoms (mask) in order to fit in with their peers. Having assessed thousands of people for autism, we are used to seeing it present in many different ways. Our assessments are designed to take masking and camouflaging into account – especially in women. Our team are very well trained in understanding the female presentation of autism and know that traits and symptoms can be trickier to see in women. I don’t have anyone to help with the pre-assessment questionnaires, will this affect my assessment? We ask someone who knows you well to support the assessment process by giving extra information.

How long is the waiting list? This often depends upon how quickly we receive the pre-assessment information, but once we've received all questionnaires, we aim to provide an assessment appointment within four to six weeks. Where do you carry out the assessments? We are able to quickly mobilise our services anywhere in the country and can use NHS estates or provide our own. What specialist assessments do you provide to the NHS? We are expert providers of autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments for patients across the lifespan. What quality and governance measures do you have in place? We are proud to be completing our application for the Care Quality Commission and ensure we apply the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act (2008) across the service, whether activity is ‘regulated’ or not. We also have robust clinical governance processes in place to ensure safe, efficient and effective care for our patients. What clinical models do you use? Are they NICE compliant? Yes, all our assessments are fully NICE compliant. We utilise different clinical models depending on the age of the patient and the type of assessment. With access to a full multidisciplinary team of clinical psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, paediatricians, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, we are able to adapt our clinical models to suit the needs of your patient group and the budget available. How quickly could you help us? We can mobilise new contracts within weeks. With the support of our experienced leadership team, we can ensure the most efficient use of your time. How do you provide assurance around activity and quality during the contract period? We believe in collaboration, transparency and ensuring an open dialogue with our NHS commissioners. As such, we have developed what we believe to be an unrivalled reporting process, carried out by our dedicated business intelligence team. It is centred around activity to target, compliance with key performance indicators, patient feedback and satisfaction. We routinely receive exceptional feedback from our patients and service users. We are looking forward to receiving similar feedback from Trust and ICB colleagues on the quality of our activity reports. Can you assess for people of all ages? Yes. Our neurodevelopmental service provides assessments to children from two (six for ADHD) to 18 years of age, with no upper limit for adult patients. (We have assessed patients who are over 80 years old!) Are you CQC registered? We are proud to state that we are in the process of submitting our application to the CQC to become registered for treatment of disease, disorder or injury. This means that in addition to providing diagnostic assessments, we can also provide bespoke treatment and aftercare services. I've had my assessment; how long will it take to receive my report? Your full diagnostic report will usually be sent out to you within eight weeks of the conclusion of the assessment. We can provide a short letter confirming the diagnostic outcome while you wait for the full report. Just ask us. Can I access post-diagnostic support through ClinicalPsych-Support ? Anyone can access our bespoke aftercare plans online at ClinicalPsych-support, following an assessment patients will recieve a feedback appointment to discuss their diagnosis and possible aftercare options should they then wish to continue receiving support. At this current time our assessments are carried out online with our current clinic space based at the heart of Birmingham. Details of our self-funded bespoke aftercare and treatment plans can be found when speaking with our specialists. Some cases, following an ADHD assessment, we may be able to provide treatment with medication, depending on the type of arrangement we have with your local Trust or ICB. Our clinicians will be able to provide further information on suitable treatment options following the assessment if you/your child are diagnosed with ADHD. We offer support and care alongside your journey. Each individual is unique. We all fit into the context of our world, our history, our genetics, and values and beliefs. Many of us are neurodiverse. And while the neurological differences that make us individuals can bring challenges, we believe that with understanding, empathy and expert support, everyone can thrive. We want to understand you. We want to support you.
