Adult ADHD Medication for Stevenage and surrounding patients, conducted in person at our Bedford clinic (35 min via A1(M)) or online. NICE NG87-aligned, led personally by Tina Fox. £995, inclusive payment plans available. Typically 6–8 weeks from first call, next available soon.
Hello, I'm Tina. I'm the lead clinician at NeuroFX. At our CQC-registered clinic, we offer specialist autism and ADHD assessments for children aged six and over and adults.
So after booking an assessment with us online or in person, you'll then be invited to take part in the onboarding process, and that is for you to be able to tell your story. It will include physical and mental health history, and then after that, you'll be sent some additional screening tools, which can all be completed in digital format online. You can pause at any time, and you can do that in the comfort of your own home. This enables me to better understand your story and your individual needs before we meet.
Next is your ADHD assessment, which is either online or in the clinic, coming to talk to me face to face. The process does take about two to three hours. That'll give you a chance to hopefully feel relaxed in an environment where you can tell me about the impacts and difficulties and how these have affected you. This follows all NICE guidelines.
In some situations, I may be able to tell you the diagnosis on the same day that we meet. In other scenarios, I might have to perhaps gain some more evidence. You might need to talk to other people, employers, family, partners, school, university, for me to be able to get a really good idea of the evidence, perhaps that you can't see yourself, and might help towards that diagnosis. You'll be provided a diagnostic report, provided I have all of that evidence, within 14 days.
So wherever you are on your journey, all the information is available on our website. You could book a call to talk to our team. You can book online. You can also simply email us if you have any questions. We do have payment plans available to pay in three or four instalments. So we look forward to meeting you and working with you on your journey.
Tina Fox is Clinical Lead at NeuroFX. Every adult ADHD medication and titration for Stevenage patients is led by her personally. A short video introduction to who we are, why we do this, and what to expect.
Take a couple of minutes with it. The point of the video is to make the room feel less unfamiliar before you even book a conversation.
Medication and titration is one half of the NeuroFX ADHD pathway. The diagnostic assessment is the other. A few related services for Stevenage patients below.

Adult ADHD medication is not a one-off prescription. NICE NG87 and the British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) consensus describe a structured titration over months. Here is what your six months with NeuroFX look like.
You need a NICE-aligned ADHD diagnosis already in place, either from NeuroFX or another CQC-registered provider.

Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner & Independent Prescriber (NISP)
Every NeuroFX medication and titration package is conducted personally by Tina. 15 years of specialist mental health nursing experience and extensive neurodiversity specialist care, having conducted hundreds of ADHD and autism assessments. Tina is also an independent prescriber and an advanced specialist paediatric sleep practitioner. Assessments and prescribing follow NICE NG87 plus British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) guidance. She works with both stimulants (lisdexamfetamine, methylphenidate IR and modified-release) and non-stimulants (atomoxetine, guanfacine), chosen based on your clinical picture, not protocol.
For Stevenage patients in particular, having one clinician end-to-end means no diagnostic hand-offs and no inconsistency between assessment and prescriber. Same person, all the way through.
For most Stevenage adults, the 35 minute journey to our Bedford clinic is worth it for the in-person experience. Online over secure video is fully available for adults who'd rather not travel; the diagnostic protocol is identical.
Bedford Consulting Rooms on Goldington Road is a calm, residential-style space, not a hospital. Pay and display car park immediately next door (1 minute walk). Central rail station 8 minutes walk.
If travel isn't realistic, adult assessments can be conducted entirely online via a secure GDPR-compliant video platform. The diagnostic protocol and the fee are identical. Not available for under-18s.
You are served clinically by NHS Central East ICB. A private NeuroFX onboarding is typically 6 to 8 weeks (next available soon).
For families in Stevenage, the NHS picture is honest but stretched. Children here are referred through the East and North Hertfordshire community paediatric service, which runs from Lister Hospital, and reporting by The Comet has put the combined wait at around 112 weeks, roughly two years.
For adults, the local picture changed in 2026: the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICB closed on 31 March 2026 and NHS services for Stevenage are now overseen by the new NHS Central East ICB, though where you go for care has not changed. The seriousness of these delays was set out by the Hertfordshire coroner, who recorded in February 2025 that waiting times for autism assessments in the county were around 2.5 years.
Stevenage is not short of local expertise and support; the University of Hertfordshire in nearby Hatfield runs a Psychology and NeuroDiversity Applied Research Unit studying autism, ADHD and access to support, while the Stevenage DSPL2 partnership and SPACE Hertfordshire offer courses and drop-ins for families who do not want to wait for a diagnosis to find help. A private assessment can sit alongside this NHS and community care rather than replacing it, and any move to NHS-funded medication afterwards remains at the GP's sole discretion, so it is worth speaking to your GP before booking if shared care matters to you.
Adult ADHD services commissioned via this ICB. Right to Choose is available to some patients in this area.
Figures reflect the trust's own published service page at time of last review. Re-check before relying on it for any decision.
Two things every Stevenage patient asks about. We've separated them clearly here so you can decide your route with full information, rather than discovering the catch after you have booked.
Right to Choose is an NHS England policy letting eligible patients choose any NHS-contracted provider for ADHD assessment, including some private providers funded by the NHS. It is not a NeuroFX service.
It exists, has helped people, and has been overwhelmed in turn: published waits at many RTC providers are now measured in years. The ADHD UK tracker is the single best place to compare current RTC provider waits.
Entering into a shared-care agreement after private titration is entirely at the individual GP's sole discretion, and is also affected by NHS Central East ICB policy. We cannot guarantee any GP will take on prescribing responsibility following a private assessment or titration.
If shared care after titration is a priority for you, speak to your Stevenage GP before booking to understand their position. We will provide a structured handover designed to make that conversation as easy as possible.
Stevenage holds a particular place in British social history as the UK's first new town, designated in 1946 and built as a deliberate experiment in planned community living. Walking through the original town centre -- pedestrianised in the 1950s and effectively the birthplace of the shopping precinct -- you are standing in a significant piece of British urban history.
The town has grown well beyond its new town footprint and now has a substantial aerospace and pharmaceutical presence, with major employers including Airbus, MBDA and GSK shaping a workforce that is technically skilled and international. The old town on the ridge above the A1, genuinely centuries old, has survived rather well alongside it.

For children and young people in this area, the LEA is Hertfordshire County Council. Your child's SENCO is the right first call about how a private assessment is used in an EHCP application or annual review.
