Yes. However, we encourage everyone to use our online form to submit referrals. The form is secure and has been carefully designed to ensure your referral information is recorded accurately and can be processed efficiently.

While we can accept referrals by email, using our online system will help ensure your referral is processed accurately and efficiently, which could help reduce your assessment waiting time.

We take the security of your personal data very seriously. Your information is used solely for clinical purposes and is accessed only by authorised professionals. We manage all data in line with NHS security and data protection standards. You can read more about how we handle your data in our privacy and data policies.

When your GP submits your Right to Choose referral, we’ll send them a verification email with a link to click to confirm the referral. Their confirmation helps us move forward with your referral as quickly as possible. You will then receive an email with a link to confirm that the GP referral details are correct.

• If you haven't recieved the verification email, please check for an email from Clinical Partners in your junk folder.
• We will reach out either to you or to your GP by phone if your correct email address wasn't provided.
• If it's been over four weeks since your GP appointment and you haven't heard from us, please reach out to your surgery to check that the referral was made with up to date details.

You will have a feedback appointment where your clinician will discuss the assessment outcome and their clinical decisions. You will then receive your clinical report, which can also be sent to your GP.

Because autism and ADHD are neurodevelopmental conditions, it is important we gather information about your experiences and development in childhood and as an adult. We do this through someone who has known you from an early age, referred to as an 'informant'.

That’s why, where possible, we recommend that people choose a parent to be their informant. If that’s not possible, another family member, former teacher or long-time friend could be suitable.

Yes, we hold NHS standard contracts across England to provide NHS Right to Choose autism and ADHD assessments for adults, children (aged five and above), and young people.

Yes, you can request a Right to Choose referral by speaking with your GP about updating your existing NHS referral. If you're considering this, your GP can help you explore whether it's the right choice for you.

You are also able to change between Right to Choose providers, but you will need to ask your GP to update the referral, and notify your previous provider to be removed from their wait list.

If your GP refers you for specialist treatment such as an autism or ADHD assessment, or ADHD medication, you have the legal right to choose an appropriate provider.

In some situations, you may not be eligible to choose your provider. The NHS has guidance on who this applies to.

Not all GPs are familiar with the Right to Choose pathway yet, which is why sharing helpful resources can be a good starting point. The NHS has published a detailed Choice Framework that explains what choices are available to you in your NHS care.

Right to Choose is a legal right, so if you haven’t been offered this option, consider asking your GP for more information and letting them know you'd like to explore it further.

For more detailed information about your rights and choices within the NHS, please visit the NHS website: Your Choices in the NHS.

If you have further questions or need additional information about your Right to Choose, you can email the Your Choice Team at [email protected]. They are available to help you understand your options and guide you through the process.

Your local ICB can also provide further information and assistance. They oversee the planning and commissioning of healthcare services in your area and can help ensure you receive the care you need. Click here to find the contact details for your local ICB.
