NHS ADHD assessments in Peterborough and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area fall under Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), which holds contracts for both adult and children and young people's (CAMHS) services. Waiting times for an NHS assessment through CPFT are currently multi-year for many patients, reflecting nationwide capacity pressures that are particularly acute in this region. Local GPs have reported inconsistent referral pathways, and some Peterborough practices have historically signposted patients toward the NHS Right to Choose scheme — which allows adults to self-refer to an alternative NHS-funded provider — though awareness of this option remains patchy across the area, and accessing it still requires an active GP referral letter. Families seeking CAMHS assessments for children face especially limited capacity, and those on lower incomes or without internet access can find it harder to navigate alternative routes. While you await your NHS appointment, a qEEG brain-activity screening can provide objective, clinician-reviewed neurological data to help inform conversations with your GP and support your case when your referral is eventually reviewed.
