After struggling and not knowing what's going on the best thing my GP did was to put me on the rite to choose pathway the response time was really quick compared to the normal waiting list with the NHS which I was on originally, to finally get diagnosed gave me a sense of clarity finally and a sort of closure for beating my self up for many many years, the team and service they offer are fantastic. Also the medication I have been put on is changing my life to be honest, I still can't believe it a tiny little tablet is helping me function which I call normal, still have not hit my ideal dose yet but I am only a month in but confident it will work. But yeah highly recommend these guys and thanks for giving me the answers I needed.

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
