In Derby and Derbyshire, adult and children's ADHD assessments are primarily commissioned through Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which also oversees CAMHS provision across the county, though some services are delivered through partnership arrangements depending on age group and locality. Waiting times for both adult and paediatric pathways have stretched to multi-year waits in recent years, reflecting national demand pressures that have been particularly acute in this region. Many Derby-area GPs are familiar with the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to request referral to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider, and uptake has grown steadily as awareness has spread; however, eligibility criteria and individual practice policies mean experiences vary considerably, and some patients report difficulty getting referrals accepted first time. CAMHS waiting times remain especially challenging, with families frequently reporting limited communication during the wait. For those navigating this lengthy process, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, clinically grounded evidence of attentional dysregulation that supports conversations with GPs and future assessors while an NHS appointment remains distant.
