At Haven Medical, children (aged 6 and over) and young people can access assessment, diagnosis and, where appropriate, ongoing care through one local team in Canford Cliffs.
You’re seen in person by the right specialist: our clinical psychologists lead on autism, and our consultant psychiatrists on ADHD. If medication is the right step, we offer ADHD titration, carefully starting and adjusting the dose with regular monitoring. Already diagnosed elsewhere? We can review your child’s report and take over their medication care.
Appointments are usually available within a couple of weeks. As a regulated CQC-registered provider, we’re independently inspected and held to the same standards of safety and quality as any NHS service.
A comprehensive ADHD assessment including a 90-minute diagnostic interview with a consultant psychiatrist, questionnaires from home and school, QbTest and a full written report with recommendations.
A structured autism assessment including developmental history, observational assessment and a full written report with feedback for parents.
A combined assessment for children where both ADHD and autism are being considered, bringing both assessments together within one pathway.
Where clinically appropriate following an ADHD diagnosis, Haven can provide medication titration, monitoring and ongoing clinical care.
For families who do not know whether an autism or ADHD assessment is the most helpful, an initial consultation with a Clinical Psychologist can help.
With a team of speech and language, CBT and EMDR therapists as well as experts in teaching executive functioning and social skills, the support doesn’t stop after the assessment.

Haven Medical’s assessments are carried out by experienced, qualified clinicians,following NICE guidance that require evidence from both home and school environments.

Yes, where clinically appropriate, through our titration service
This is an arrangement with your NHS GP to take over the prescribing of medication. It means you don’t have to pay for the prescription or the medication itself. You can request shared care with your GP, once your child is stabilised on their ADHD medication, but they are not compelled to accept. They will likely require you to have regular (often twice a year) review appointments to continue prescribing. We can offer these at Haven.
We always advise families considering shared care to speak to their GP before embarking on the medication route so they are fully informed. We can complete shared care paperwork on your behalf, but we cannot guarantee the GP will accept the shared care arrangement.
Yes. A consultant psychiatrist will need to review the assessment and report before prescribing can take place.
