Borehamwood falls under the remit of Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT), which oversees both adult and CAMHS ADHD assessment services across the county. Waiting times for an NHS ADHD assessment in this area are currently multi-year for adults, with CAMHS pathways similarly stretched; local GPs in the Hertsmere area have noted significant pressure on referral capacity, and some families report difficulty even securing an initial GP consultation that leads to a formal referral. One notable local pattern is that awareness of the NHS Right to Choose pathway — which allows adults to request an assessment from any approved provider rather than waiting within HPFT — remains uneven, meaning many residents continue to wait on the standard list without realising alternatives exist under their statutory entitlement. Navigating this system can feel exhausting, particularly when daily difficulties are already taking a toll. In the meantime, a qEEG brain-activity screen offers objective, clinically grounded evidence of neurological functioning that can meaningfully inform conversations with your GP or support a Right to Choose referral while you await a formal diagnosis.
