In Ipswich and the wider Suffolk area, NHS ADHD assessments for adults fall under NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board, with clinical services largely delivered through Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT) for mental health pathways, though capacity issues at NSFT are well documented and have been the subject of significant scrutiny in recent years. Children and young people's assessments are managed through local CAMHS services, which face similarly stretched resources. Waiting times for both adult and paediatric ADHD assessment on the NHS in this area are currently multi-year, and many Ipswich GPs are increasingly familiar with signposting patients toward the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to self-refer to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider without leaving the NHS system, though awareness and uptake among local practices remains inconsistent. For those navigating this lengthy and often frustrating wait, a qEEG brain activity screening offers objective, clinically grounded data that can help document functional differences and support conversations with your GP or future assessor.
