In Southampton and the wider Hampshire area, adult ADHD assessments are primarily commissioned through NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, with services delivered by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust for adults and through CAMHS pathways for children and young people. Waiting times for a formal NHS ADHD assessment in this area are currently lengthy, with many patients facing multi-year waits from GP referral to first appointment — a reality that has led to growing uptake of the NHS Right to Choose scheme, which allows eligible adults to self-refer to certain approved providers without losing their place in the local system. GPs across Southampton generally follow a standard referral pathway, though some patients report inconsistency in whether their referral is accepted at the first attempt, particularly if presentations are atypical. For those navigating this difficult waiting period, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, clinically grounded evidence of attentional and regulatory differences, supporting both self-understanding and future clinical conversations.
