Independent information site. Not the NHS, not a clinic, not a diagnostic service, and not a referral service. England only. A GP, dentist or optometrist must decide whether a first outpatient referral is clinically appropriate. Provider lists, waits and ICB caps change — check the provider and your ICB before the appointment.
Use this form if you want the GP pack, a provider-type shortlist, or to ask a listed clinic to contact you. We will not refer you. We will not diagnose you. Written by Pete, editor, not a clinician.
If you have not used the eligibility check yet, start there. It takes about 30 seconds and changes which next step we suggest.
Disclosure
If you ask a listed provider to contact you, a partner clinic may pay this site a fee. That is not an NHS fee. NHS-funded Right to Choose care remains free at the point of use except for limited exceptions such as standard prescription charges. Full explanation: how we make money.

Two consents
Consent 1 — partner contact (not pre-ticked)
I am happy for a matching partner clinic to contact me about an ADHD or autism assessment. I understand this site is independent, is not the NHS, and will not refer me. I understand a partner clinic may pay this site a fee if I ask them to contact me. I can withdraw by emailing the site (see the privacy notice).
Show this consent if they chose “Ask a matching clinic to contact me” or “Both”. Do not send their details to a clinic unless this box is ticked.
Consent 2 — email updates (not pre-ticked)
I am happy to receive email updates from Right to Choose Pathway (GP pack, checklist, occasional pathway notes). I can unsubscribe at any time.

Quiz outcome routing notes
Wire Fluent Forms so the quiz outcome is a hidden field. Do not present every visitor as an NHS-funded Right to Choose lead.
| Quiz outcome | What the user sees after submit | Lead handling |
|---|---|---|
| 1. May be in scope (England GP, first assessment, wants NHS-funded RTC; adult) | GP pack + optional shortlist. Partner-contact consent offered. | RTC-ready enquiry only if consent 1 is ticked. Clinic still needs a GP referral. |
| 2. Not England / private-pay | Private-pay explainer. Partner-contact consent offered for private or mixed clinics. | Private-pay enquiry if consent 1 ticked. Do not describe this as NHS Right to Choose. |
| 3. Already in a service | “The legal right often does not apply mid-treatment.” Pack may still explain complaints and new-episode rules. | Do not tag as RTC-ready. No clinic share unless they still tick consent 1 and we have labelled it “already under a team”. |
| 4. Under 18 (otherwise in scope) | CYP warning: the legal right is not adult-only, but provider age rules and local pathways vary. | RTC-ready with CYP flag if consent 1 ticked. Never tell a clinic we have assessed the child. |
| Not sure on funding (Q6) | Send the GP pack and explain NHS-funded versus private-pay. Both consents available. | Tag not-sure-funding. Do not promise NHS funding. |
If they skip the quiz, treat as not-sure-funding and still show England-only and GP-decides copy on this page.
What happens next
- We email what you asked for.
- If you ticked partner contact, we may pass name, email, optional phone, postcode, age band, condition and format to one matching partner.
- That clinic may or may not take you on. Acceptance is theirs. Clinical appropriateness is the referrer’s.
- You still need a GP, dentist or optometrist if you want an NHS-funded Right to Choose referral.
Read eligibility and how to ask your GP. Browse providers without asking anyone to call you, if you prefer.
