In St Albans, adult and children's ADHD assessments through the NHS fall under Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT), which covers mental health and neurodevelopmental services across the county. As with much of England, demand has outpaced capacity significantly, and those referred through their GP can currently face multi-year waits for a formal diagnostic assessment, both via CAMHS for younger people and adult community mental health pathways. A notable local pattern is that some St Albans GPs have become more familiar with the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to self-refer to an approved independent provider at NHS cost, though awareness and uptake remain inconsistent across practices, and waiting lists through Right to Choose providers have also lengthened considerably as referral volumes have grown. Capacity pressures mean that even initial triage appointments can take many months to arrange. For those navigating this difficult waiting period, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, quantifiable data about neurological functioning — giving individuals and their clinicians meaningful, evidence-based information to work with while they await their formal NHS assessment.
