Long titration waiting times

Originally was very impressed when I received my forms and then assessment appointment fairly quickly. My assessor was great, friendly and reassuring but she told me I would hear from her within the hour to let me know the outcome, i had to call up for the next week to chase this and was told they will tell her to call me. Eventually a week later I received an email from her saying she had attempted to call multiple times which she hadn’t.

After diagnosis I was told there would be a 12 week wait for my first titration appointment which I was shocked by, considering my friend who was diagnosed by a different service had her first titration appointment at the end of her assessment. Now I am 6 months in and still haven’t got an appointment date and advisors on the phone or live chat are no help at all, they send generic responses and have zero empathy or compassion.

It seems as though they keep their waiting times looking low by getting people assessed quickly, to then leave them waiting for what feels like a life time, struggling with a new diagnosis and radio silence from CARE ADHD.

It’s also worrying their excuse for this is that they are ‘low on providers’ when they aren’t hiring.. so how are they going to rectify this? Seems like we will be waiting forever for medication. DO NOT recommend.

Dear Katie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations.

We are pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with your assessor, although we sincerely apologise for the delay in communicating your assessment outcome and for the frustration this caused.

We also appreciate your concerns regarding the wait for titration and the communication you have received throughout this stage of the pathway. Due to the significant increase in demand through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, our waiting times have increased beyond those initially anticipated. We understand how disappointing this has been and appreciate that waiting after receiving a diagnosis can be particularly challenging.

We are continuing to increase our clinical and operational capacity to improve access to treatment and reduce waiting times. We also value patient feedback and are using it to review and improve both our communication and our processes.

Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Warm regards,
The Care ADHD Team

Thank goodness for CareADHD....now it all makes sense!

I didn't have to wait long for an assessment. Booking assessment was easy and communication was really good. Pre- assessment information was helpful particularly to opportunity to view someone having their assessment discussion.
My report is extremely useful.

Hi im Gabriel Cutler

Hi im Gabriel Cutler, diagnosed yb careadhd in 2026 at 53 years old.

After waiting for nearly ten years to get assessed by the NHS I went through the right to choose option and found the Centre. Once I had got all the nonsense with the NHS sorted I appointed careadhd.co.uk for my assesment, ive known along time im on the spectrum but had no idea to what degree and just how much it effected my daily life.

Through out the entire process careadhd where as helpful as they could possibly be - although i get a feeling they might be a little short staffed on the phone front :)

My assement appointment once the right to choose was authorised by the NHS happened within WEEKS - not months, not years - WEEKS.

Day of my assement i had a video conferance with a woman called Bronwyn, very polite, very understanding, knew exactly how to get my focus back when my mind wondered off. Bronwyn (quickly I suspect) diagnosed with me dual ADHD. I cried. Grown man, cried at someone finally putting a name and agreeing with me about my diagnosis (even though i was trying to hide my adhd during the interview)

I would recomend Bronwyn and the Care Adhd team to ANYONE waiting for diagnosis.

Now the hard part is over to me, stuff to follow up on to sort out my treatment - only been two months I been meaning to sort that out (little adhd humour there) - but I will do as its no good having a broken leg, if you dont do something to fix it.

Cant thank Bronwyn and the team enough.

Gabriel Cutler, diagnosed 2026 at 53 years old.

Dear Gabriel,

We are delighted to hear that your journey with CARE ADHD was a positive one and that you felt supported throughout your assessment process. It is wonderful to know that Bronwyn helped you feel comfortable, understood, and listened to, while also creating an environment where you felt able to openly discuss your experiences.

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis can be a significant and emotional moment, especially after many years of seeking answers, and we are so pleased that your assessment provided you with the clarity and understanding you were looking for.

We appreciate your kind words about our team and your feedback regarding contacting us. We are always looking at ways to improve our processes and make sure patients feel supported throughout their journey.

Thank you again for sharing your story, and we wish you all the best as you continue with the next steps of your pathway.

They falsely claim a wait time of 2 weeks

They advertise a 2 week wait for the RTC path after forms are completed. I followed up after a 10 week delay post completion of forms to see what happened and they told me they have a wait of 52 weeks and pointed me to their private service. I flagged that they were misleading patients by providing knowingly false wait times across their site and third party advertisements. They refused any responsibility and are still currently advertising a 2 week wait. I have reported them to the CQC, Trading Standards and the Ombudsman.

Dear Lidia,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has left you feeling disappointed.

We would like to clarify that the estimated two week waiting time for an assessment refers to the period after all required assessment forms have been completed, received, clinically reviewed, and the patient has been moved to the "Ready to Book Assessment" stage. As each patient takes a different amount of time to complete and return their forms, this timeframe is an estimate rather than a guarantee.

We would also like to clarify that choosing the private pathway does not guarantee being seen sooner, as appointment availability depends on clinical capacity within each pathway.

We regularly review the information we provide to ensure it is as accurate and up to date as possible, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant team for review.

Warm regards,

The lady who took my meeting was absolutely brilliant. On the teams call she made me feel so at ease, understood and fully informed of everything that was being discussed. I find it very difficult to speak about certain topics and she was extremely attentive and compassionate towards me and checked in with me throughout the entire duration of the call, which made me feel as though I could share personal matters a lot easier. This meant a lot to me as this assessment was something I was nervous for prior. Her name was Cheyenne Roberts.
