Medication is a key aspect of the treatment process for many people looking for a private ADHD diagnosis. Getting prescriptions from an NHS psychiatrist can be difficult and lengthy. NHS waiting lists are notoriously long and GPs may be reluctant to refer patients on to specialist services.

One way to get around this is to request your GP to refer you through Right to Choose (see psychiatry-uk and ADHD 360). You can pick a provider who offers an assessment on your own and the titration. This can cut down on wait time by a significant amount and is more convenient if you're working and have a full schedule.
