Evolve Psychology states they offer NHS-funded Right to Choose assessments for children from age 6 (ADHD, autism, or both) and for adults for autism only. They do not prescribe and do not offer shared care. Adult ADHD via RTC is not offered. Appointments can be in clinic or online where appropriate. A child-assessment wait of 12–16 months is quoted below as a snapshot.

At a glance (their claims)
| What Evolve Psychology states | |
|---|---|
| Who | Children and young people: ADHD from age 6; autism; combined autism + ADHD. Adults: autism only. No adult ADHD via RTC (they offer private adult ADHD separately) |
| ADHD / autism | Child ADHD; child and adult autism. Not adult ADHD on RTC |
| Format | Clinic appointments across England or online where appropriate |
| Titration | No. Assessment and post-diagnostic guidance only |
| Shared care | They do not prescribe and do not offer shared care. Medication = GP / local NHS |
| Contract language | “Qualified NHS-approved provider”; “The assessment is NHS-funded when referred correctly through your GP”; “Your GP can refer directly to us for NHS-funded ADHD and autism assessments.” |
What they state — not what we have verified
On their Right to Choose page they describe themselves as a qualified NHS-approved provider and say the assessment is NHS-funded when referred correctly through your GP. This site has not verified that they hold a qualifying NHS Standard Contract.
The no-prescribing limit is their published RTC offer, not a national rule. If you need an NHS-funded medication pathway from the same organisation that assesses you, this is not that offer — see the providers index.
Wait snapshot (theirs, not ours)
Snapshot only. Do not treat this as a live queue. Their RTC page said (undated except the sentence itself):
“The current wait time for the NHS Right to Choose child assessment is 12–16 months. This is subject to change.”

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 (in-person or remote can count), and is not a one-person spot purchase. “NHS-approved” on a clinic page is not that test.
Referrers should consider ongoing care after assessment, including how the service interacts with local pathways and shared-care protocols for prescribed medicines. Evolve states they do not prescribe — so aftercare for ADHD medicine, if needed, would sit with the GP or another local NHS service, on their telling.
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. They do not offer adult ADHD via RTC and they do not prescribe.
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.
