Discretionary Hardship Fund

Hardship Funding on a case-by-case basis:

We offer charitable donation appointments on a case-by-case basis for those patients needing an assessment who are unable to pay in full for one of our services.

To qualify for a charitable donation, you will need to email us with proof of hardship of Universal Credit in your name or jointly with your partner. Based on individual circumstances, we will then issue you with a voucher to proceed with 50% discount.

Released Prisoner Funding

If you have been released from prison in the last 6 weeks or are due to be released from prison within 6 weeks – we offer a 50% discount on ADHD assessments. Please make contact via our email service and we will issue you with a voucher code to book an online ADHD assessment for £397.50 to include, assessment, reporting, medication to titration and review with ongoing support. This service is funded directly by the Fiona Project and we take great pride in providing a service to contribute to reduce offending and offering our services at less than cost to support equality to access our services for minority or under-represented patients.

Service Update

Fiona Project is closed and not currently providing ADHD assessment or prescribing services.

Following the resignation of our Clinical Director, and a review of our clinical governance arrangements, we have concluded that the service is unable to continue operating safely under its existing model.

The service is experiencing significant operational difficulties common to remote ADHD service models, particularly in relation to the provision of long-term prescribing without consistent shared care support from NHS Primary Care and access to face-to-face clinical monitoring. The service was not designed to provide long-term ADHD management in the absence of these arrangements.

In addition, without a Clinical Director in post, it would not be clinically appropriate or responsible to continue providing ADHD prescribing. At this time, we are unable to appoint a replacement Clinical Director, and the service will therefore remain closed.

All patients who were previously under our care have been contacted directly and supported through a managed transition of care, including guidance on referral to NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB)-commissioned services or alternative providers where appropriate.

This decision has been taken in the interests of patient safety, regulatory compliance, and good clinical. Further updates will be published on this page should the status of the service change.
