NHS ADHD assessment services in Northampton and the wider Northamptonshire area fall primarily under Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT), which holds responsibility for both adult mental health and CAMHS provision across the county. As with much of England, demand has significantly outpaced capacity, and adults seeking a formal NHS assessment through their GP should realistically expect multi-year waiting times before an appointment is offered; CAMHS waits for children and young people are similarly lengthy and have been a documented concern locally. Many Northamptonshire GPs are now more familiar with the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows eligible adult patients to request assessment through an alternative commissioned provider, though uptake and GP awareness of this option still varies considerably across practices in the area. Patients are encouraged to ask their GP explicitly about Right to Choose rather than assuming it will be mentioned. For those navigating this uncertain wait, a qEEG brain-activity screening offers objective, clinically grounded data about attention-related neurological patterns — providing meaningful, evidence-based insight into how your brain is functioning while you await your NHS appointment.
