Online video assessment

Two assessment options

Two ways to prepare. A doctor makes the diagnosis.

Choose how you would like to share your information before your clinical assessment. Both options include a video consultation with a doctor, a written report, a summary for your GP and a short follow-up conversation.

AI-assisted adult ADHD assessment

£295

Before your video appointment, an AI assistant asks questions to collect information about your experiences, history and how your difficulties affect daily life. This gives your doctor information to review and explore with you during the consultation.

Your doctor conducts the clinical assessment, asks further questions and decides whether ADHD is the appropriate diagnosis.

AI is used only for information gathering. It does not diagnose ADHD or make the clinical decision.

Book now

This lower-cost option is available through our private adult service only.

Fully human adult ADHD assessment

£595

Prefer to share your information without an AI assistant? Choose our fully human assessment. Information gathering and the clinical assessment are led by people, and you meet a doctor by video to discuss your experiences and receive their clinical opinion.

Book now

This option does not use the AI information-gathering step.

Your diagnosis is a human clinical decision in both options. Your doctor assesses you during the video consultation and explains the outcome. If further information is needed before reaching a conclusion, they will explain the next steps. Neither option guarantees an ADHD diagnosis.

The assessment

An assessment that takes time to understand you

You may have spent years struggling with concentration, organisation or feeling overwhelmed. An assessment gives you space to discuss those experiences and understand what might be behind them.

Your doctor will consider your current difficulties, childhood history, everyday functioning and other possible explanations. They will explain their findings and discuss appropriate next steps, whether or not ADHD is diagnosed.

What the fee covers

Both assessment options include

  • A review of your suitability for our online service before booking.
  • Review of your relevant history and supporting information, collected through your chosen assessment option.
  • A detailed video assessment with a doctor trained in ADHD assessment, who makes the clinical diagnostic decision.
  • A clear explanation of the outcome.
  • A written clinical report and summary for your GP.
  • Personalised recommendations, including practical support for work, study and everyday life.
  • A short follow-up conversation to discuss your report and next steps.
The assessment fee pays for the clinical assessment and report. It does not guarantee an ADHD diagnosis.

How it works

How your private care works

  1. 01

    Check suitability

    Tell us about your needs and medical history so we can check whether our online adult service is suitable.

  2. 02

    Choose your assessment option

    Choose the £295 AI-assisted assessment or the £595 fully human assessment. We will explain what is included and what information you need to provide.

  3. 03

    Share your information

    With the AI-assisted option, an AI assistant collects information before your video appointment. With the fully human option, information gathering is led by people, without the AI step.

  4. 04

    Meet your doctor by video

    Your doctor reviews your information, explores your experiences and carries out the clinical assessment. The doctor makes the diagnostic decision; AI does not. If more information is needed, your doctor will explain what happens next.

  5. 05

    Receive your outcome and report

    Receive an explanation of the findings, a written report, a GP summary and personalised recommendations, with a short follow-up conversation to discuss your next steps.

Fees

Clear costs before you decide

These prices apply to our adult private service. Children's assessment fees are explained separately.

These prices exclude optional services such as therapy or coaching. We will explain any additional requirements and costs before you commit to them.

You can read our booking, cancellation and refund terms before paying.

NHS Right to Choose · Adults 18+

You may be able to access NHS-funded care

Rainbow also provides NHS-funded adult ADHD assessments through Right to Choose for eligible patients in England.

You do not have to choose private care to access Rainbow. The NHS route requires a GP referral; the private route allows direct booking.

Questions

Questions before booking

Visit our children's service page
Will AI diagnose me?

No. AI is used only to collect information before your video appointment. Your doctor reviews that information, assesses you during the consultation and makes the clinical diagnostic decision. If more information is needed, your doctor will explain the next steps.

What is the difference between the £295 and £595 assessments?

The £295 assessment uses AI-assisted information gathering before your doctor appointment. The £595 assessment uses human-led information gathering without the AI step. Both include a doctor's video assessment, a written report, a GP summary and a short follow-up conversation.

Is AI-assisted information gathering the same as the 60-second test?

No. Our free 60-second test is an adult screening tool to help you reflect on your symptoms. It does not diagnose ADHD. AI-assisted information gathering is a separate preparation step for the £295 private adult assessment, followed by a clinical video assessment with a doctor.

Is the £295 option available for children or through the NHS?

No. It is available only through our private adult service for people aged 18 and over in England. Our NHS adult pathway and private children's service have separate arrangements.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral is needed for our private service. We will need your GP details and relevant health information to support your assessment.

What happens if ADHD is not diagnosed?

Your clinician will explain their findings and recommend appropriate next steps. You will still receive your report. The fee covers the assessment and professional opinion, regardless of the outcome.

How soon can I be seen?

Available assessment appointments are shown during booking.

Can I move from private care to NHS-funded care?

NHS-funded care has its own eligibility and referral requirements. Paying privately does not guarantee a transfer to NHS care or priority on an NHS waiting list.

Do you also assess children and young people?

Yes. We have a separate private assessment service for children and young people. Visit our children's service page for information about suitability, the process and fees.

Take the next step

Choose an AI-assisted adult assessment for £295 or a fully human assessment for £595. In both options, a doctor assesses you by video and makes the clinical diagnostic decision. Book directly, or take the free 60-second test first if you are unsure.
