NHS Right to Choose (RTC) is a legal right in England allowing patients to choose their provider for a first outpatient appointment. For ADHD, this means your GP can refer you to an approved private provider at NHS cost — waits are typically 2–12 weeks instead of 3–7+ years. Use our provider finder to see which RTC providers operate in your area.

Yes — via NHS Right to Choose (free, NHS-funded assessment at an approved private provider) or private assessment (self-funded, typically £1,200–£2,500 for a full assessment). Both routes bypass the NHS waiting list entirely. Many patients then use the NHS for ongoing prescribing via a shared care agreement with their GP.

Wait times on this page are crowd-sourced from patient reports submitted to ADHD Map. They represent actual patient experiences rather than official NHS figures. Individual waits vary significantly by GP surgery and referral pathway. We recommend using these as a general guide and contacting your local NHS ADHD service for the most current official estimate.

Providers often advertise headline wait times (e.g. "8 weeks"). Our platform collects actual wait times reported by real patients who have completed the process. The gap between advertised and actual waits is often significant — this discrepancy data is unique to ADHD Map.
