Below are some doctors that may specialise in Adult ADHD. Please note that this does not mean we are endorsing these doctors.

Here are a few questions you can ask consultants:






The children’s team at this hospital will also see adults with ADHD.
Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist with an additional specialism in adult ADHD
This clinic is a national service operating on an outpatient basis. That means that a GP or NHS consultant can refer you from outside the London area provided your own Primary Care Trust is willing, or is persuaded, to fund the referral.
AADD-UK has recently (02/10) learnt that the GLAADS clinic is currently closed to new referrals owing to lack of funding and no date has been given for when it’s likely to reopen. If you have been refused a referral for this clinic, or have been placed on an indefinite list, we strongly recommend that you ring the Independent Complaints Advocacy Service (ICAS) on 01225 762723 and say that you would like an advocate to help you file a formal NHS complaint. ICAS provides a service that is both free and excellent.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no psychiatrists within the NHS in Northern Ireland who are doing assessments for adults who may potentially have ADHD. On rare occasions some adults have managed to get referrals to England, but this has not been a simple process. Others have sometimes managed to get referrals funded to see Professor Michael Fitzgerald at the Department of Psychiatry, Trinity College, Dublin (http://www.professormichaelfitzgerald.eu/index.html).
If you are an adult and need an assessment for possible ADHD we strongly recommend that you contact Dr Graeme McDonald, Chairman of the Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health, and highlight the lack of services for adults with ADHD in Northern Ireland. Here are his contact details:
Dr Graeme McDonald, The Mater Hospital, 47-51 Crumlin Road, Belfast BT14 6AB

We also suggest that you file a complaint with your local Health & Social Care Trust and send a copy to your MP. The Citizens Advice Bureau in Northern Ireland has information about how to file a complaint:
