Finding clarity starts here.

From getting a confirmed diagnosis, all the way through to ongoing treatment: we’re here to make living with ADHD easier. Here’s what to expect when starting your diagnosis and treatment journey with us.

  • Step 1

    Take our 5-minute pre-assessment.

    Tell us about you, your health, and how you feel. This gives us a brief picture of your symptoms and an idea of whether a video consultation might help you. If we don’t think the consultation will be worth your time, your payment will be fully refunded.

  • Step 2

    We’ll verify your ID and NHS record.

    Clock Icon

    Before your video appointment, our clinician will review your NHS record, and we’ll verify your ID. This helps us make recommendations that are safe for you. We can usually do these steps without you having to do anything (other than give us your consent).

  • Step 3

    Your supporting info contact completes a short survey.

    Clock Icon

    We’ll email a person of your choosing to fill in an online questionnaire about you and your symptoms. This should be someone who's known you since birth, like a close family member.

  • Step 4

    Your video consultation.

    Clock Icon

    After reviewing your pre-assessment, our clinician will invite you to book a video consultation. Our appointments generally last at least 90 minutes, and we recommend allowing extra time in case you and our clinician need to talk for longer.

  • Step 5

    We'll review your case.

    Clock Icon

    Our ADHD clinician will review your case and come to a decision on your diagnosis. If they think a prescription for ADHD treatment is right for you, they’ll tell you what they recommend.

  • Step 6

    We’ll create your prescription.

    Clock Icon

    Once you’ve accepted our clinician’s recommendation, we’ll forward your prescription to our partner pharmacy based in the UK. They’ll ship your treatment, and every month we’ll prompt you when your next lot of medication is due, so you can get your repeat treatment with ease.

  • Step 7

    Get personalised ongoing care (for free).

    Clock Icon

    We’ll check in to see how things are going, and you’ll retain easy access to our ADHD clinician, too. So you can ask them anything, any time you like, and it’s all included in the price of your treatment.

How does it work?

How does it work?

It all starts with the pre-assessment. It’s a 5-minute series of questions you can answer online, and helps us to know if a further consultation with our ADHD clinician is going to be worth your time (and £249 fee).

Our clinician will then review your answers. If they think a consultation is right for you, they'll ask you to provide contact details for someone who knows you well, so we can email them a short online survey to complete. This can be a parent, or anyone else who's known you since birth, and knows information about your developmental history and your mother's pregnancy with you (such as an extended family member or family friend). The survey should only take 5 minutes.

Once your chosen person has completed this, you’ll be invited to book an appointment. You can choose your own time, and we usually have slots available on either the same or the next working day. The average appointment length is around 90 minutes.

At your consultation, our ADHD clinician will talk about your feelings and symptoms with you, ask you some questions, and discuss your medical history.

After your consultation has finished, our clinician will put together a report based on your discussion, and make a decision about your diagnosis. If you are diagnosed with ADHD, they’ll recommend a treatment plan for you, and you can choose whether to accept it.

Once you accept and start the treatment plan, we’ll create your prescription. You’ll then have the option to get this forwarded to a UK partner pharmacy to be dispensed and shipped to you.

Do I have to become a member?

Do I have to become a member?

We do need to know certain details about you before you take a consultation with our clinician, and before they recommend treatment. For this reason, you will need to create an account to use Focused.

We’ll keep your details confidential though, and handle your data according to guidelines set out by health regulators including the CQC.

You can read more about how we handle your data in our privacy policy.

Can I cancel my treatment?

Can I cancel my treatment?

Yes, you can cancel your prescriptions and stop receiving them from us. But because stopping ADHD medicine suddenly isn’t always safe, we strongly recommend that you’re able to get treatment prescribed from another healthcare provider before leaving us. Our clinicians can give you guidance on how to do this safely.
