For residents of Manchester, navigating an ADHD diagnosis through the NHS can feel overwhelming, particularly given the significant waiting times reported across Greater Manchester. NHS Greater Manchester ICB, like many integrated care boards across England, has faced considerable pressure on its adult ADHD services, and there have been reports of local commissioners introducing additional triage steps or gatekeeping measures that can slow or restrict access to Right to Choose referrals, meaning some GPs may ask patients to complete pre-referral screening questionnaires or demonstrate prior contact with mental health services before a referral is processed. The standard NHS pathway in this area can involve waits of several years, whereas the Right to Choose pathway, when successfully accessed, typically offers a considerably faster route to assessment through an alternative provider. Before your GP appointment, it is worth confirming that your practice is actively supporting Right to Choose requests and checking that you have documented your symptoms in writing beforehand. Bringing objective evidence to that conversation, such as a qEEG brain screening report, can meaningfully support your case and demonstrate to your GP that your concerns are grounded in measurable data.
