In Oxford and across Oxfordshire, NHS ADHD assessments for both adults and children are managed through Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, which oversees community mental health and CAMHS services in the county. As with much of England, waiting times are substantial — adults and young people referred through standard NHS pathways are commonly facing multi-year waits, a situation that reflects national demand rather than any failing specific to local teams, who remain under considerable pressure. Oxfordshire GPs have increasingly signalled awareness of the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to self-refer to an alternative approved provider at NHS expense, though uptake varies and navigating the process can feel daunting without clear guidance from a surgery. CAMHS capacity remains particularly stretched, and families are often advised to pursue school-based support or local neurodevelopmental charities while waiting. For those unable to access a formal assessment promptly, qEEG brain mapping offers an objective, clinically grounded snapshot of neurological activity — providing meaningful, evidence-based information to bring to appointments, support applications, or workplace conversations while the NHS queue moves forward.
