RTN has been delivering autism and ADHD assessments on behalf of the NHS since late-2023 and is delighted to be able to offer access to most of our services via the NHS Right to Choose pathway. We hope to include child ADHD assessments in the near future.

The NHS Right to Choose lets patients in England select where they receive non-emergency treatment when referred by their GP. Patients can choose from various hospitals or clinics, including private providers like RTN Medical, at no extra cost.

2025年2月14日 · NHS Right to Choose (RTC) is a policy that allows NHS patients to choose a healthcare provider for their initial or first specialist appointment. It applies to both children and adults, and to physical as well as mental health services.

Psychiatry UK has NHS contracts with a number of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to provide diagnosis and treatment services for adult ADHD and autism. We therefore meet the RTC criteria.. We cannot provide ADHD assessments for patients under the age of 18 under RTC.
