Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Service

Referrals to our service have now stopped

From 1 December 2025, we will temporarily stop accepting new referrals to our Adult ADHD Service.

This difficult decision has been made to make sure we can continue to provide safe, effective and sustainable care for people who already use the service.

About ADHD

ADHD is a condition which affects your concentration and patience. You might find that you’re more impulsive and easily distracted, and you find it difficult to focus at work, in school and in relationships.

Having ADHD shouldn’t stop you from keeping your independence. Although there's no cure for the condition, your symptoms may improve as you get older but it depends from person to person.

Read our news story about closure to our ADHD referrals

If you’ve already been referred for an ADHD assessment or have received a diagnosis and you’re waiting to start medication, you’ll stay on our waiting list, you don’t need to do anything.

If you’re currently on ADHD medication and being reviewed by our Adult ADHD team, your care will continue as normal. During this period, we’re prioritising overdue medication reviews to make sure everyone’s treatment is safe and effective.

If you’re transitioning from children’s ADHD services to adult services, this will go continue as planned. You don’t need to do anything. (Referrals to our Children and Young People’s ADHD service are not affected by this change).

If you were planning to seek a referral. Please still speak to your GP. They can offer advice, support, and information about managing symptoms and accessing other sources of help while referrals are temporarily closed.
