ProblemShared states they offer fully online, NHS-funded autism assessments for children aged 7+ and adults 18+, and adult ADHD from 18, with medication where appropriate only after they have assessed you. Children’s ADHD was listed as coming soon. They call themselves an approved Right to Choose provider. This site has not verified that. A wait snapshot dated 26 June 2026 is quoted below.
Independent information site. Not the NHS, not a clinic, not a diagnostic service, and not a referral service. England only. We may receive a fee if you ask this clinic to contact you.

At a glance (their claims)
| What ProblemShared states | |
|---|---|
| Who | Autism: children 7+ and adults 18+. Adult ADHD: 18+. Children’s ADHD 7–17 listed as “Coming soon” on 1 September 2026 |
| ADHD / autism | Adult ADHD and autism; autism for children 7+. Do not treat children’s ADHD RTC as live — their FAQ still said they currently only offer adult ADHD and autism assessments, and autism assessments for children aged 7 and over |
| Format | Completely digital / online. They state they are CQC registered (CQC is a separate check, not proof of RTC) |
| Titration | Yes for patients they diagnose, where appropriate. They say the NHS meets medication cost; a standard NHS prescription charge may apply |
| Shared care | Not stated as a shared-care protocol on the RTC page. Medication “where appropriate” only after RTC ADHD assessment through them |
| Contract language | “Approved Right to Choose provider”; “NHS-funded assessment”; England GP referral; no self-referral |
| Other rules they list | They will not re-assess an existing NHS diagnosis of the same condition; they will assess after a private diagnosis of the same condition |
What they state — not what we have verified
On their Right to Choose page they describe themselves as an approved Right to Choose provider offering NHS-funded assessment. This site has not verified that they hold a qualifying NHS Standard Contract.
They warn that some ICBs may pause RTC until further funding, and they publish a postcode ICB lookup on the same page. That is their operational note, not a statement that the legal right has been repealed.
Wait snapshot (theirs, not ours)
Snapshot only. Do not treat this as a live queue. Their RTC page, as of 26/06/26, gave:
- New referrals, autism: 40–50 weeks
- ADHD: 4–8 weeks
- ADHD medication: 25–40 weeks
They also state a goal of 12–24 weeks.

Sanity-check the contract claim
NHS England’s patient-choice guidance says the legal right, when it applies, is a choice of any clinically appropriate provider that already holds a qualifying NHS Standard Contract for the needed service with any ICB or NHS England. A qualifying contract is signed and in effect before the referral date, is for the required service, sets a location or access criteria (remote can count), and is not a one-person spot purchase. Prior commissioner approval is not required when the legal right applies. Remote ASD and ADHD assessments may be subject to the legal right when the other tests are met — that is not a guarantee that every digital clinic qualifies.
CQC registration is one of the tests used when a commissioner assesses a new provider. It is not proof that Right to Choose applies to you.
Their page is their claim. It is not our verification.
What you can do next
I’ll ask my GP to name this provider
Naming them is a preference. The GP still decides whether a referral, and this provider, are clinically appropriate. Children’s ADHD was not a live RTC offer on the page we retrieved.
Ask this clinic to contact me
Disclosure: we may receive a fee if you ask this clinic to contact you. That is not an NHS fee. They still need a GP, dentist or optometrist referral for NHS-funded Right to Choose care. See how we make money.
