NHS Right to Choose · England

Ask your GP to refer you to CARE ADHD

CARE ADHD accepts NHS Right to Choose referrals. When it takes a referral, the NHS pays for the assessment. Some local NHS areas now limit the number of Right to Choose assessments they fund and have set minimum waits, so an NHS-funded wait can be much longer than the private wait shown for a clinic. Before your GP refers you, ask the clinic whether it is taking Right to Choose referrals from your area and what its wait is. Your GP has to make the referral, and they will need the clinic's details. We can put those into a letter you can take to your appointment.

Absolutely appalling drawn out service, I've been waiting 7 month's since my assessment and have still not received titration. I selected CareADHD on right to choose because of their very short assessment to medication time that they claimed they have, two weeks and you could even get medicated in your initial assessment. This has also been pointed out in another review on here where CareADHD have denied they advertised such service but that is a complete and utter lie, I saw exactly the same statement myself. The very worst service I've received from anyone about anything during my whole 53 years on this planet and I would strongly recommend anyone who is considering using their services to AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I choose Care ADHD via right to choose and really can’t fault them. Within two or three months I was in their system. And afterwards moved to shared care with my GP. The whole process was incredibly quick, easy and professional. I genuinely can’t understand some of the negative reviews. In my experience, they’ve been extremely responsive and efficient throughout, I’m extremely happy with the service. I really can’t recommend them enough. One thing I would flag from my experience: if you’re hoping to move to shared care, make sure you ask your GP about it, as it may not be offered or explained to you automatically.

I was so excited when I heard about the right to choose website and saw amazing time frames of eight weeks to get a diagnosis with Care Adhd. I submitted my referral early 2025 and was so excited to finally see if Adhd was the root cause of my issues unfortunately my assessment wasn’t until November of that year so a far cry from the eight week advertise timeframe however I was happy to be seen as soon as they possibly could just to get answers. I received my full diagnosis and was put forward for medication which is a separate appointment. I was given a a timeframe of six weeks once that had passed. I chased Care Adhd and was told it would be a further 12 week wait as there was a long waitlist once that had been and gone I chased again and was told I needed to complete some forms which was sent to me that day I completed them within the hour and was told that now I would re-go onto the waitlist we’re now looking at almost a year since my diagnosis with no support emails go unresponded to and I feel unsupported and unheard given unrealistic timeframe that get my hopes up that support is around the corner when we’re looking at a total of almost 2 years I’m writing this review because I’ve to the point where I don’t know where to go from here and want to raise awareness that the right to choose timeframes aren’t as realistic as expected. All I want is my medication and to feel like life is calm and I am able to cope but all I’ve been given is false hope and a diagnosis that’s going untreated day by day and year by year it would seem.

Used the right to choose pathway after it seemed like I wouldn't be seen on the NHS before the end of recorded time, but this has been little better. Assessed pretty quickly. Was then promised I'd be able to start titration within a few months. We are way over that timeframe now and it's impossible to speak to them on the phone. They don't respond to emails. Diabolical care. Do not choose them under any circumstances and good luck on your journey to receiving treatment for your condition. You're going to need it.

We couldn’t be happier with the care and support we received throughout Arlo’s ADHD assessment. The whole process was handled with such professionalism, kindness and understanding, and we always felt listened to and supported. A special mention to Wilma and Elli, who were absolutely fantastic. They made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time, patience and understanding they showed towards Arlo and our family. We’re so happy with the outcome and would highly recommend the team to anyone going through the ADHD assessment process. Thank you so much!
