Private ADHD assessment in Oxford

Oxford is covered by NHS Thames Valley ICB, and the local NHS route is currently closed: the Oxfordshire Adult ADHD Service, run by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, is not accepting new referrals and has published no reopening date.

Oxford Health's own guidance is that, for anyone seeking a new referral, "GPs may decide to support people to choose from an alternative NHS-approved provider under the NHS Right to Choose rules". So in Oxford, Right to Choose is not merely an alternative — it is the route the NHS service itself points you to.

Our Right to Choose guide lists the clinics that accept those referrals. It is a legal right in England but does not guarantee a shorter wait. If you pay privately instead, raise shared care early — it matters more where the NHS service is closed.

Confirm the referral position with your GP; it can change. Not medical advice.
