For residents of Peterborough seeking an ADHD assessment, NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB oversees both the standard NHS pathway and the Right to Choose route under the NHS Constitution. The standard NHS pathway in this area has reported waiting times that can stretch to several years, whereas the Right to Choose pathway — which allows patients to request assessment from any appropriately qualified NHS-funded provider — has historically offered considerably shorter waits, sometimes measured in months rather than years. NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough ICB has, in line with a broader national trend, introduced triage and referral criteria that GPs may be asked to apply before a Right to Choose referral is formally accepted, so it is worth confirming with your surgery whether any pre-referral steps or local criteria currently apply. Before your GP appointment, it is sensible to prepare a detailed written summary of how your symptoms affect daily functioning across multiple settings, including work, relationships, and home life. Objective qEEG brain screening, which produces measurable neurophysiological data, can provide compelling supporting evidence that meaningfully strengthens the conversation with your GP when requesting a referral.
