What is NHS Right to Choose?+
In England you have a legal right to choose which provider carries out your NHS ADHD assessment. This lets you bypass long local waiting lists and be seen by a specialist provider like Rainbow, still fully funded by the NHS.

Local NHS ADHD waiting lists can run 2–5 years. Our current wait from receiving a referral to assessment is around 3 days, subject to clinical capacity.
