In Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire area, NHS ADHD assessments for adults are primarily commissioned through Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT), which also oversees CAMHS provision for children and young people across much of the county. Waiting times for both pathways are currently multi-year, reflecting demand that has consistently outpaced available clinical capacity — a pressure that is by no means unique to this area but is felt acutely here. Many local GPs refer routinely to MPFT, though awareness of the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which allows adults to request referral to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider, remains patchy across Staffordshire practices, meaning some patients wait considerably longer than necessary simply through lack of information. If you are on the waiting list or still trying to secure a referral, a qEEG brain activity screening can provide objective, measurable data about your neurological functioning, giving you something tangible and evidence-based to bring to future clinical conversations while you wait.
