ADHD Assessments Service
At Seven Care Services, we deliver NICE-compliant ADHD assessments for children, young people, and adults across the UK.
Our service is designed to provide an accurate and thorough assessment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using evidence-based tools and a structured, multi-disciplinary approach. We are CQC-registered, an accredited Right to Choose provider, and approved on national frameworks including NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) and NHS Sourcing.
This allows NHS commissioners and local authorities to access our services quickly and compliantly.
Important Note
We are a non-prescribing ADHD assessment service. Our role is to assess, diagnose, and provide recommendations for support, strategies, and onward referral. Where medication is considered appropriate, we will signpost to a GP or relevant NHS service for medical review.
Our Assessment Approach
Our ADHD pathway follows NICE NG87 guidelines and includes:
Comprehensive clinical interviews
Standardised ADHD rating scales
Reports from multiple sources (home, school, workplace)
Screening for co-occurring conditions (e.g., autism, anxiety, depression)
Multi-disciplinary team review before diagnosis
