Right to Choose (RTC):
Patients have a right to choose a provider. If you wish to execute your right to choose:
For all Right to Choose referrals, the patient, or their family if a child, will need to research and select a clinic themselves, it is not something the GP can advise on. Once you have chosen which clinic you would like to have your assessment with and obtained the relevant forms, please write to us confirming who you have chosen and forward any forms and questionnaires. Please ensure any forms that are required to be completed by/for the patient are enclosed with the letter. This will enable us to process the referral efficiently. This website includes Adults and Children ADHD and Autism: https://adhduk.co.uk/right-to-choose/
Private Referrals:
If you would like to be referred privately, you will need to advise us which hospital you would like to be referred to. This is not something the GP can advise on. Our local private hospital is Spire Norwich, but we will require you to advise us if you wish to be referred here or to another private provider.
