If you're an adult in the UK facing long wait times for ADHD assessment, it’s important to know that you have the legal Right to Choose ADHD provider under the NHS (National Health Service). This means your GP (General Practitioner) can refer you to an approved provider anywhere in England, giving you faster access to diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support — all fully NHS-funded.

Since 2018, the Right to Choose ADHD pathway has helped thousands bypass local NHS waiting lists. Yet, many patients and even GPs are still unaware of how it works. That’s why Elixir Medics is here — to guide you through every step of exercising your Right to Choose ADHD.

NHS-Commissioned Service Area

We are accredited to assess and treat adult ADHD (18+) and cover the whole of England.

You must meet all of the following:

• Be 18 or over.
• Be registered—and remain registered—with an NHS GP in England throughout referral, assessment, and treatment.
• Be applying specifically for an ADHD assessment/treatment.
• Provide a working email address and/or mobile number.
• Provide photo ID and proof of address.
• Not be experiencing an acute medical or psychiatric illness that would affect the assessment.
• Not be using illicit drugs (these can interfere with assessment).

   Discuss your symptoms. If an assessment is indicated, your GP can refer you to Elixir Medics.
   Note: You cannot self-refer for the NHS-funded route.
