In Stockport, adult ADHD assessments are commissioned through NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care, with clinical services delivered via Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) and local community providers, while children and young people are assessed through the Stockport CAMHS pathway under Stockport NHS Foundation Trust. Waiting times across both pathways are currently multi-year, reflecting demand that significantly outstrips commissioned capacity — a pressure that mirrors the wider Greater Manchester picture. Many Stockport GPs refer routinely to the NHS pathway rather than proactively discussing Right to Choose options, meaning some patients wait considerably longer than necessary without realising alternatives exist; awareness of the NHS Right to Choose scheme, which allows referral to certain approved independent providers at no cost to the patient, remains patchy across local practices. For those navigating this difficult wait, a quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain activity screening can provide objective, clinically meaningful data about attention and cognitive regulation — offering a grounded, evidence-based foundation for conversations with employers, schools, or clinicians while an NHS appointment remains outstanding.
