Psychiatrist Second opinion in ADHD. Home visit and complex cases.

When to request a second opinion

• If you don't have a clear diagnosis, waiting can delay the ADHD treatment you need.
  

• Complex cases, when you are not sure about the diagnosis or treatment plan.
  

• When you are worried that you're not being offered the optimal treatment.
  

Home visit indications

• The client requests the highest discretion and privacy
• The client is unable to leave the home or join a video consultation
• Where the family feels the home visit may add further clinical value
• In severe anxiety disorders, substance misuse or severe presentations
  

Visit arrangements and family members

We may not be able to accommodate a home visit, if this is not passing our risk assessment process or we may not have availability. We encourage a family member to be present at all times to facilitate and add further information.

In some situations, we may need to conduct a 1 hr interview with a family member before considering taking on the case.

The fees for a home visit

Home visits and second opinions are more expensive because of the additional time and travel required. We accept patients for this service only via the self-funding method.

We recommend a minimum 2-hour visit slot for the first assessment starting at £1160. Please note the traveling time of the psychiatrist to your home and back to base is charged separately at the standard fee of £580 per hour. The costs of a home visit can vary depending on your location, complexity, and the fee will be agreed in advance.
