Have you been referred by your GP for an ADHD assessment yet?
How to request Right to Choose
- 1. Tell your GP you want to use your legal right to choice for an ADHD assessment.
- 2. Your GP can only decline if they believe it isn't clinically appropriate, judged against NICE guidelines — not personal preference. Local restrictions in some areas can still affect timing even when your GP agrees.
- 3. Choose an approved provider. Check their current wait times directly, since these change month to month.
