ADHD/Autism referral pathways
Right to Choose ADHD Pathways
If you are based in England under the NHS you now have a legal right to choose your mental healthcare provider and your choice of mental healthcare team.
This important right means that, for instance, should you decide the waiting time for your ADHD assessment is too long, then you can choose alternative providers.
The provider must supply the service to the NHS somewhere in England. The providers we are aware of are listed here.
More information about ADHD/ASD is available on the following links:
It is important to note that many of the clinics mentioned can offer diagnosis but are rarely able to offer medication titration.
This means that you may be able to obtain a diagnosis with the named clinics, but often you will need a local NHS referral should they find that you need to start/continue medication to control your symptoms.
You should be aware that the Practice does not provide NHS prescriptions under shared care arrangements with private providers.
Please also note the provider must arrange any checks they require prior to initiation of medication (for example we do NOT do ECG’s for the purposes of commencement of ADHD medication). We can refer you on to NHS services for ongoing prescribing however, the current wait is up to 2 years with Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust – Modality LLP.
Should you need ongoing medication until such time as you can be seen by an NHS provider, this will be on a private prescription basis from your chosen private provider. The reason for this is that shared care as a process is between NHS commissioned providers and primary care.
The Integrated Care Board do not have a mechanism to oversee governance for prescribing on a private basis (as would be the case for commissioned providers), and subsequently there is also no governance to manage cost, alongside safety, such that prescribing costs under shared care relationships are covered by the ICB.
When can you not use Right to Choose?
There are some restrictions on which patients are eligible for a Right to Choose assessment and the below is a list of the reasons you would not be eligible:
- You need urgent or emergency treatment – this is often not relevant as there are rarely times when this type of referral is considered urgent, but is still worth noting here
- You already receive care and treatment for the condition you are seeking an assessment for
- The organisation or clinical team you’ve chosen does not provide the right care for your condition
- You are a prisoner or on temporary release from prison
- You are detained in prescribed accommodation such as a court, secure training centre, immigration removal centre or young offender’s institute
- You are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended in 2007)
- You are a serving member of the armed forces
