Cheadle falls within the NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care System, with adult ADHD assessments typically commissioned through Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) and children's services managed via local CAMHS pathways, often through Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust or Stockport's community services depending on the patient's registered GP. Waiting times across this patch are currently multi-year for both adult and paediatric pathways, reflecting a demand that has significantly outpaced available clinical capacity. Many Cheadle residents find that their GP, particularly those registered with Stockport-based practices, may refer into Stockport CAMHS or adult community mental health rather than directly naming a specialist ADHD service, which can add delays if the referral is redirected. The NHS Right to Choose pathway is available to adults and is increasingly used in this area, though awareness among local GPs remains variable and patients often need to advocate for it themselves. While waiting for an NHS appointment, a quantitative EEG screening assessment can provide objective, clinically meaningful data about brain activity patterns, giving individuals and their families tangible evidence to share with their GP or future assessing clinician.
