In Gloucester and across Gloucestershire, NHS ADHD assessments for adults are commissioned through Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, while children and young people fall under the same trust's CAMHS provision, both of which are currently subject to multi-year waiting times that reflect a national picture of severely stretched specialist capacity. Many local GPs refer patients via the standard community mental health route, though a growing number of Gloucestershire adults are exercising their Right to Choose, directing their GP referral toward an alternative NHS-commissioned provider in an attempt to reduce the wait, with varying results depending on individual circumstances and current provider availability. CAMHS waits in the county remain particularly prolonged, leaving many families navigating school support and private pathways without a formal diagnosis in hand. For those waiting, the process can feel uncertain and isolating, especially when symptoms are already affecting work, relationships, or education. A qEEG brain-activity screening offers objective, clinically grounded data about attention and cognitive regulation that can usefully document your presentation while you await your NHS appointment.
