In Maidstone and the wider Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust area, ADHD assessments for both adults and children (via Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust for mental health services) are subject to well-documented capacity pressures, with waiting times commonly described as multi-year for a formal diagnostic assessment on the standard NHS pathway. Many Maidstone-area GPs are familiar with the NHS England Right to Choose framework, which allows adults to self-refer to an approved independent provider at NHS expense, though uptake varies and local practices differ in how proactively they communicate this option to patients. CAMHS referrals in particular face significant bottlenecks, and families are frequently signposted to charity support while they wait. It is a genuinely difficult position to be in — knowing you or your child may need support but facing an uncertain, prolonged wait with little clinical contact in the interim. A qEEG brain-activity screening can provide objective, neurophysiological evidence of attentional dysregulation, giving you meaningful information to bring to your GP or any future clinical appointment while the NHS process runs its course.
