If you want a private referral, first research where you want to go. Private hospitals can give you information and let you know if you need a GP referral.

Hospital Waiting Times
The NHS created the My Planned Care website for patients to find out how long they have to wait at hospitals. The site will grow in the next few months to offer more help for patients during their wait.

Adult ADHD Referral Process
We are receiving a large amount of adult ADHD referral requests, and thought it might be helpful to clarify the process. The below information relates to ADHD referrals for adults. The ADHD referral route for children is via the Early Help Hub.
The local ADHD service is provided by Cornwall CFT NHS Trust. You can read more about their service online here https://www.cornwallft.nhs.uk/adhd-service/. There is a long waiting time for the referrals, but the service is expanding. You will find information on the internet regarding your right to choose, however this is only an option if there is not an appropriate local service.
If you do have a private assessment undertaken, please check if they will provide prescriptions and follow-up care. The medication prescribed for ADHD needs ongoing monitoring and health tests, and we will not accept prescribing requests from private ADHD assessments.
For more information on ADHD, please visit the NHS website: www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/
