Specialist led assessments with a clear plan for managing symptoms day to day.
With NHS waiting times continuing to grow, many patients are seeking faster, more comprehensive pathways to assessment and care. At Idos, our dedicated ADHD assessment and treatment offers a smooth and responsive service, led by Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Vishaal Goel from Integra Psychiatry.
Idos offers an ADHD assessment, prescribing and shared care agreement, all under one roof. If however, your own NHS GP is willing to take on the shared care agreement of prescribing, then we are happy to hand this over. Our Idos GPs however, are capable of taking on this shared care prescribing, so you can rest assured that the whole assessment from start to finish, is possible at Idos.
An IDOS assessment looks at your history, symptoms and how they affect work, study and home life. We use validated questionnaires, consider other possible explanations and agree next steps together. Where appropriate, treatment may include structured self‑management strategies, talking therapies and medication, with regular reviews.
If you already have a diagnosis, we can discuss continuing care, medication reviews and practical adjustments.

We look carefully at your current symptoms and how they affect work, study and home life, alongside strengths and coping strategies. The clinician reviews your history, uses standardised questionnaires and structured interview, considers other explanations for attention or restlessness, and screens for things that can overlap such as anxiety, sleep problems or low mood. With your consent we can request collateral information, for example from a partner, parent or employer. You will leave with a clear written summary and a plan you can follow. If treatment is appropriate, we discuss options such as practical self-management strategies, coaching or psychological support, and medication with safe monitoring.
The assessment process includes a detailed consultation and diagnosis, followed by initial treatment and medication if appropriate. Once a stable dose is achieved, prescribing can be continued either by your NHS GP (via shared care agreement) or through our in-house Idos GP, creating a fully integrated service.
For those who do not require or choose not to take medication, we offer in-house counselling and complementary therapies. These services focus on emotional regulation, relaxation, time management, and other essential life skills to help clients manage ADHD in daily life.
