How we manage patient data
To protect patient data, we recommend submitting referrals via our secure online form. This method ensures your patient's information is transmitted safely and integrated directly into our systems without delay.
Patient data is used exclusively for clinical purposes, accessed only by authorised professionals, and managed in full compliance with NHS security and data protection standards.
Updates from ICBs
Your local NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) is responsible for planning and funding NHS services in your area.
Demand for Autism and ADHD services across England is higher than the NHS financial resources available. Under new NHS guidance, NHS ICBs can use contractual powers to manage demand and keep services within locally available budgets. This means ICBs may instruct providers that offer services under Right to Choose to prioritise these resources by 'pausing' certain assessments, until further funding becomes available.
We’re working closely with all 42 NHS ICBs to support future planning and sustainable service delivery. Patient care remains at the heart of everything we do, and we will continue to share clear updates whenever NHS ICB instructions to us affect patients.
Please check the list for your NHS ICB. This will help you understand any NHS guidance that could affect your referral and allow you to make the choice that feels right for you.
