In Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area, NHS ADHD assessments for both adults and children are managed through Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which oversees community mental health and neurodevelopmental services across the region. Waiting times for a formal NHS ADHD assessment are currently substantial, with many patients facing multi-year waits from the point of GP referral — a situation that reflects national capacity pressures rather than any failing unique to this area. Brighton's relatively high uptake of the NHS Right to Choose pathway has offered some individuals an alternative route, allowing GP referrals to be directed to approved independent providers at NHS cost, though awareness of this option remains inconsistent across local practices, and not all GPs in the area routinely discuss it. Those awaiting assessment often describe a difficult period of uncertainty, managing symptoms without formal diagnosis or support. For individuals in this position, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, neurophysiological evidence of attentional and regulatory differences — offering a meaningful clinical starting point while the NHS assessment queue progresses.
