In Oldham, adult ADHD assessments are commissioned through NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care, with services historically delivered via Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH), while children and young people are assessed through local CAMHS pathways under the same broader integrated care arrangements. Waiting times for both adult and paediatric NHS assessments in this area are, regrettably, multi-year, reflecting a demand that has grown far faster than available clinical capacity — a challenge common across Greater Manchester but felt particularly acutely in Oldham, where socioeconomic pressures can amplify unmet neurodevelopmental need. Many Oldham GPs do refer patients through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to access a different NHS-commissioned provider without losing their place in the system, though awareness of this option among both patients and primary care staff remains inconsistent. While families and adults navigate this lengthy and often frustrating wait, a clinically administered qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, measurable data about attention-related neural patterns — offering a meaningful piece of evidence to hold alongside self-report questionnaires until a formal NHS diagnosis becomes possible.
