Right to Choose ADHD and Autism Referrals – Our Practice Approach

You can choose an NHS-commissioned provider for ADHD or autism assessment under the Right to Choose.

We will make your referral promptly using a standard GP covering letter that includes the essential clinical information.

We do not complete provider-specific online forms or carry out extra checks (such as blood tests, hearing/vision tests, or pre-referral examinations) unless they are clinically necessary for your routine GP care. Any assessments required for their pathway should be completed by the receiving service.

This approach helps us prioritise clinical care, reduce delays, and ensure safe transfer of care. If a provider asks for extra forms or tests, we will ask them to accept our clinical referral letter.

We’ll let you know once your referral is sent; the provider will contact you directly about next steps.
