In Crewe and the wider Cheshire East area, adult ADHD assessments are commissioned through NHS Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, while children and young people's services fall under the local CAMHS pathway, which has faced significant and well-documented capacity pressures in recent years. Waiting times for both adult and paediatric NHS ADHD assessments in this region are currently multi-year for many patients, reflecting national demand that has substantially outpaced available clinical resource. Locally, GPs in Crewe tend to refer into the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership pathway as a default, though patients do hold the legal Right to Choose an alternative NHS-commissioned provider for adult assessments under NHS England's Right to Choose framework — an option that remains underutilised in this area, partly due to inconsistent awareness among referring clinicians. For individuals facing a lengthy wait, a quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain activity screening can provide objective, physiological evidence of attention-related patterns, offering a meaningful and documented starting point while awaiting a formal NHS diagnosis.
