Adult ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) referrals

All ADHD assessment requests for adults aged 18 years and older will be sent to the AWP ADHD screening service in the first instance.

If you feel that you may have ADHD and wish to be referred for an assessment on the NHS please contact us via Klinik to begin this process.

 

How to start a referral request:
  1. Patients who wish to request a referral for ADHD assessment and treatment must first contact the surgery via our Klinik system to initiate the request.
  2. We will send a referral to the AWP ADHD screening service using the details we hold on our records.
    (please ensure you let us know if this is not up-to-date)
  3. The Screening team will send you a pre-assessment questionnaire via email. Please ensure that you complete this and return to them within 3 weeks. Failure to do so will mean that your case is returned to us unreported.
  4. The Screening team will report back to you and the GP with the outcome. 
  5. If an ADHD referral is indicated. We will contact you by text to ask which NHS Right to Choose ADHD service provider you would like us to send your referral to. 
    Please note that we are unable to offer any recommendation on which provider to refer to. We are also unable to answer any queries on wait time, please ensure that you visit the provider website to access the information you require.
  6. Once we have your provider choice we will contact your GP
  7. We will send your referral to your chosen provider and you will be placed on their waiting list. Any further updates and queries will need to be directed directly to your provider. Waiting times can be found on websites.
