ADHD Service for Adults
We are currently setting up this service. Please check back soon for information on how to access the service.
Information for Current PatientsAbout the Service
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect people throughout childhood and adulthood. Many adults live with ADHD without realising that their symptoms may be contributing to difficulties in everyday life. ADHD can affect concentration, organisation, time management, memory, emotional regulation, motivation and impulse control. These challenges can have an impact on work, education, relationships, finances, wellbeing and daily routines.
The Primary Care Network (PCN) ADHD Service has been developed to improve access to local ADHD assessment, treatment and support. Our aim is to provide timely, high-quality care closer to home, helping people access the right support locally.
The service is available to adults registered with participating GP practices across the PCN who may be experiencing symptoms of ADHD.
Appointments take place in a dedicated clinic environment designed specifically for patients accessing the ADHD Service. This is a welcoming, non-judgemental space where patients can discuss their experiences and concerns openly.
You will be seen by our Neurodiversity Practitioner (NDP) and/or Specialist ADHD GP. We understand that everyone’s experience is different and we will work with you to identify the support that best meets your needs.
What the Service Provides
The ADHD Service offers:
- Initial needs-led assessments to explore the most appropriate support for you.
- ADHD diagnostic assessments where appropriate.
- Advice and education about ADHD.
- Medication assessment and initiation where appropriate.
- Medication titration where appropriate.
- Ongoing medication reviews and monitoring.
- Support with symptom management and wellbeing.
- Self-management strategies and practical coping techniques.

Our goal is to help people better understand their symptoms, access appropriate treatment and develop strategies that support daily functioning and wellbeing.
Important Information
The ADHD Service is not a mental health service and does not provide emergency or crisis support.
If you are experiencing a deterioration in your mental health, have concerns about your emotional wellbeing, or require support outside of ADHD-related care, please contact your GP practice.
If you require urgent mental health support, please contact NHS 111 and select Option 2 for Mental Health Crisis Support. If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, or there is an immediate risk to yourself or another person, call 999 or attend your nearest Emergency Department.
