Eligibility

Ask your GP to refer you via NHS Right to Choose.

You would generally need to meet all of the following criteria:

  • Your GP considers the referral clinically appropriate. The referring clinician determines whether an elective referral is appropriate.
  • The referral is for a first outpatient appointment/new episode of care for the condition.
  • Your chosen provider offers the required autism/ adhd assessment service and holds a qualifying NHS Standard Contract with an ICB or NHS England for that service.  
  • You are not currently detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
  • You are not detained in prison or on temporary release from prison.
  • You are not currently serving as a member of the Armed Forces. Family members living in England are not excluded simply because a relative serves.

Często zadawane pytania

Czy spotkanie ADOS-2 musi odbyć się twarzą w twarz?

Badanie ADOS-2 jest ważną ‘oceną obserwacyjną’. Oznacza to ocenę tego, jak prezentujesz się osobiście. Dlatego w większości przypadków spotkanie to musi odbyć się twarzą w twarz. Istnieją wyjątkowe okoliczności, w których konieczne jest wirtualne spotkanie, więc w niektórych przypadkach zostanie ono przeprowadzone wirtualnie.

Pozostałe spotkania mogą być realizowane wirtualnie i nie muszą być realizowane twarzą w twarz.

Jakie są ramy czasowe mojej oceny?

Please see our Tablica ogłoszeń dla pacjentów for current wait times for your first appointment (from the point of your referral being accepted). All waiting times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

Report times are subject to change, and dependant on various factors, please contact us if it has been over 8 weeks since your assessment for an up to date time frame.
