But then the GP turns around and says it's not valid and you're back where you started.

I went Choose & Book with the NHS, however Psychiatry-UK state that 'The current wait time for assessment for new adult ADHD patients is estimated to be between 12-18 months' That's the current best.

You need to ask the GP which private health care organisations are verified by the NHS Integrated Care Board, they will only consider Right to Choose private partners who are verified 😉

Even the right to choose now the list is massive, I looked and it said 12 weeks, I'm currently on about month 7 and they said it's over a year now!

Corvus Celticus :
here in NI there are no regionally commissioned services for adult ADHD and therefore no requirement Health and Social Care Trusts to manage an ADHD waiting list.

Vinny 🖤🤍 ~ Dog Content 🐾 :
But then it’s up to your GP if they decide to accept your private diagnosis, if they do not then you wouldn’t be able to get medication on the nhs etc.

Careful as some icb have told gp not to accept shared care for private diagnosis (rtc different). My gp accepted prior to this. I’m on a 2 year wait for review against NICE. Dx in 2000 in Aus conf uk

Awkward Conversations Podcast :
For me the best things are LOTS of cardio and cold showers, and good sleep. I prefer these than the meds. The meds are good for some but I had side effects I didn’t like.

Right to chose is fantastic! You just need to hope it works at your GP is all! #AccessToWork is really helpful if your work place won’t fund your treatment too! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I am SICK TO DEATH OF RTC. My surgery refused to do it. What else? RTC is nonsense for a few reasons. It has to be through NHS for the long term too.
