Your local ADHD assessment options in Bristol
In Bristol, NHS Right to Choose referrals are still being accepted for people registered with the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) ICB, but the ICB has asked providers to work within an agreed funding limit. That means you can join the waiting list, but your assessment may be delayed beyond advertised wait times once the limit is reached, with no confirmed date. On the standard NHS pathway, waits commonly run to several years. A private assessment gives people in Bristol a faster, predictable route to being seen.
