Getting to our Handforth clinic from Chester is straightforward whichever way you prefer to travel. By train, the most reliable route is to head into Chester station and take a service towards Manchester Piccadilly, changing there onto a Stoke or Macclesfield line train to Handforth station, which sits just a five-minute walk from our clinic — total journey time is typically around an hour and a quarter door to door. If you're driving, the A56 feeding onto the M56 eastbound and then a short stretch of the A34 into Handforth is your most direct option, taking roughly fifty minutes in normal traffic, though do allow a little extra during the morning rush. Once you arrive, free on-site parking means there's nothing to worry about on that front. A handy tip for anyone coming from the Chester direction: downloading your train tickets to your phone in advance avoids any last-minute hassle at the barrier. The assessment itself is a calm, structured conversation lasting most of the morning, and once the report is complete, it goes directly to your GP and school electronically — so you make just the one journey.
