On the advice of a friend, I asked to be referred to Psychiatry UK via Right to Choose, for diagnosis of adult ADHD, rather than to the more standard route within my CCG. Instead of a wait of a year or two (which I did not think was feasible due to the significant adverse effects my ADHD was having on my mental health) I was seen within a fortnight of referral, and medicated a couple of weeks after. I received a blood pressure monitor in the post to ensure I could be monitored throughout the titration process - this was very helpful. The prescribing nurse I was allocated (Hannah Woodmansey) has been fantastic, responding to any queries I had very quickly, and keeping me updated at every stage on the dedicated secure portal. The whole experience has been easy, straightforward and stress free. I have already recommended this route to a couple of friends who were seeking the same diagnosis and the one who has taken it has had a similar experience to my own.
