In the UK, more and more people are seeking ADHD and autism assessments through the NHS Right to Choose scheme. Unfortunately, this growing demand has led to longer wait times than we’d like – for both assessments and, where needed, ADHD medication.

We’re doing everything we can to change that. Our team is growing year-round as we bring in more ADHD and autism specialists, medication prescribers, and non-clinical staff. We’re also introducing new technology to speed things up and help reduce wait times.

Our goal is to bring wait times down to XXXX weeks, and we’re working tirelessly to get there. We truly appreciate your patience and trust in us to support you or your family on this journey.
