ADHD assessment in London

Hello

Have searched the board but haven't found any recent threads - can anyone recommend a clinic that they have used for a private child ADHD assessment in London? Had a hugely upsetting and difficult day with DD7 and don't think waiting for the NHS will be an option as I imagine there is a backlog.

We used Dr Giaroli and Partners on Harley Street. Saw Dr Campos.
NHS subsequently accepted the diagnosis once we got to the top of their waiting list (it was not that long to get an initial NHS appointment but the diagnosic process/assessment would then have taken a long time, over a year here - south London).

Thank you we are also South London. Is it a psychiatrist or an EP who diagnoses?

We saw an EP who said our son clearly had ADHD but to go and get him assessed formally. We went to a psychiatrist but our local
hospital diagnoses via a paediatrician. (We’re now under the care of NHS paed).

We used Clinical Partners. They have offices in London and elsewhere and did a NICE ‘gold standard’ assessment and good report. We used them to calibrate medication and are now moving to nhs services. DS was also 7. Pleased we got it done, it’s helped us all. Good luck.
