Private ADHD pricing
Three clear stages, priced separately and transparently
ADHD assessment
A structured, age-appropriate ADHD assessment, with a clear outcome and written report. We follow nationally-recognised NICE guidelines, so you can be confident that any diagnosis meets all the right standards.
£690
- Assessment with a specialist in young people’s ADHD
- Written report with recommendations for home and school
- Clear guidance on next steps and free support resources
Medication titration
Titration is the process of finding the right ADHD medication and dosage. It usually takes around 12 weeks. At Noodle, we don't directly sell medication. If medication is right for your child or young person, we can manage their titration until they reach a stable, effective dose.
£785
- A dedicated titration team of licensed prescribers
- Titration reviews, monitoring and follow-up support
- Medication costs paid direct to the pharmacy
- A Shared Care request to your GP once stability is reached (GP acceptance varies)
Ongoing care
The kind of ongoing care your child or young person receives will depend on their needs and whether Shared Care is in place with their GP. Typically, this might include continued monitoring, and two six monthly check-ins to review progress and adjust support.
From £275 per year
Additional options
Medication review £125
Includes a 30-minute review and writing a prescription where appropriate.
Ad-hoc prescriptions £25
Prescription writing outside of a review appointment – where clinically appropriate.
If you're paying for medication privately, you'll pay these costs directly to your pharmacy. These are typically higher than NHS charges, at around £75–£160 a month.
How Shared Care works
About Shared Care
If medication is appropriate and your young person responds well to it, we can request a Shared Care Agreement with their GP. This means the GP takes over prescribing medication once stable. It's up to your GP practice whether or not they accept Shared Care.
If your GP accepts Shared Care
Your GP will issue monthly prescriptions at NHS prices.
Prescriptions
Prescriptions are NHS-funded for under 16s, and 16–17 year olds in full-time education. Otherwise, you’ll pay the NHS rate.
Reviews
£275 per year - w provide ongoing specialist reviews as required.
If your GP declines Shared Care
We can keep prescribing privately for your child, and provide clinical reviews.
Cost
£440 per year – ongoing prescriptions and reviews.
Medication
Not included – this is paid directly to the pharmacy.
Support and treatment options
Support looks different for everyone. For many, practical strategies at home and school come first, with medication introduced later – and only when it's clinically appropriate.
Build understanding
Get access to practical information and guidance to help you and your child better understand ADHD and autism.
Practical strategies
Apply behavioural and environmental tools that can help your family manage life at home and school.
Titration and reviews
If medication is appropriate, titration and regular reviews help your child or young person adjust and stabilise.

Your questions, answered
Do prices differ for an adult’s assessment?
Yes. For adult prices, see here.
Can I get an ADHD diagnosis without medication?
Absolutely. Plenty of people find value in getting a formal diagnosis without choosing medication. The costs for assessment (£690) is standalone – there’s no obligation to go ahead with titration afterwards.
