In Cambridge and the wider Cambridgeshire area, adult ADHD assessments are commissioned through Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), while children and young people are seen through CPFT's CAMHS services, though both pathways are under considerable strain. Current waiting times for an NHS ADHD assessment in this region are realistically multi-year, reflecting national capacity pressures that are particularly acute in Cambridgeshire, where demand has grown sharply in recent years. Many local GPs are aware of the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to self-refer to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider without losing their place in the system, though uptake varies and some practices remain cautious about initiating referrals at all, leaving patients uncertain about the best route forward. If you are currently navigating this wait, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, clinically meaningful data about your neurological functioning — giving you and your GP something concrete to discuss while your NHS assessment remains pending.
