We are receiving an increasing number of requests for referrals for ADHD or Autism assessments. You or your child do not necessarily need to see a clinician for us to make a referral.
Before contacting us please read the following information which explains the referral options:
Referral via Right to Choose
Right to Choose provides you the option of asking for a referral to a particular provider of your choice for assessment. We have found that this is often quicker than the more traditional NHS referral routes.
Please note: You need to investigate and decide which provider you would like us to refer to, we cannot recommend a specific provider.
The Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) have approved four Right To Choose providers for ADHD and autism assessments:
Children (up to age 18)
Help for psychology (Autism or ADHD)
The Owl Centre (Autism or ADHD)
Evolve Psychology (Autism or ADHD)
Paloma Health (Autism only)
Adults
The Owl Centre (ADHD)
Skylight Psychiatry (ADHD or Autism)
ADHD Net (ADHD)
CARE (Centre of ADHD Research and Excellence) (ADHD)
Please note: Every so often, providers will pause accepting any new referrals
We recommend asking for one of the above options as if medications are required, these are the only providers currently approved from which the GP surgery might be able to continue the prescriptions. If, following an assessment medication is prescribed, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide this medication
Once you have chosen a provider, please visit their website and ensure you have filled out all the pre-referral information (each provider will require something different to refer and without this information we will be unable to refer)
Then contact our secretarial team on 01603 250660 (Option 6) to ask for a referral to one of the listed providers.
