Bishop's Stortford falls under the NHS East and North Hertfordshire Trust for many local services, though ADHD assessments for both adults and children (CAMHS) in this area are typically commissioned through Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT), which holds the contract for mental health provision across the county. Waiting times for an NHS ADHD assessment through HPFT are currently understood to be multi-year, a reality that reflects nationwide capacity pressures rather than any failing specific to Hertfordshire. Many Bishop's Stortford GPs are familiar with the Right to Choose pathway under NHS England, which allows adults to self-refer or be referred to an alternative NHS-funded provider, potentially reducing waits — though uptake and GP awareness of this option can vary considerably between practices in the area, and some patients report needing to advocate firmly for a referral. For those navigating this uncertain wait, a qEEG brain activity screening offers objective, clinically grounded data about neurological patterns associated with attention difficulties, providing meaningful evidence to support conversations with clinicians while the formal assessment process unfolds.
