In Exeter and the wider Devon area, adult and children's ADHD assessments are commissioned through NHS Devon and delivered largely via Devon Partnership NHS Trust for adults and the local CAMHS services for under-18s, though service boundaries and subcontracting arrangements can vary across the county. Waiting times for a formal NHS assessment currently run into multiple years for many patients, reflecting a well-documented national shortfall in trained clinicians relative to the volume of referrals received since the pandemic. GP referral patterns in Exeter tend to follow a single-point-of-access pathway, meaning patients are often triaged through talking therapies or community mental health teams before reaching a specialist, which can add further delay. There has been growing local interest in the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows patients to request assessment through an alternative accredited provider, though awareness among GPs remains inconsistent. While navigating this wait, a qEEG brain-activity screening can offer objective, clinically meaningful data about attention and cognitive regulation — giving individuals and their families something concrete to discuss with their GP rather than simply waiting in uncertainty.
