Right to Choose: Xyla ADHD assessments

Xyla offers timely, high-quality ADHD assessments through a referral from your GP, giving you more control and the personalised care you deserve.

Just starting your journey?

If you’re just beginning to explore ADHD, the first step is to complete a self-report form. This helps both you and your GP better understand your symptoms and experiences.

Once you’ve completed the form, you’ll receive a copy of your responses by email. Book an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns, share your completed form and ask to be referred to Xyla via NHS Right to Choose.

Already spoken to your GP?

If you’ve already had a conversation with your GP and completed your self-report form, you can now choose Xyla as your provider. Simply download our referral letter template and ask your GP to submit a referral to Xyla on your behalf.

Once that’s done, we’ll take care of the rest and guide you through the process. We take a step-by-step approach to ensure every individual receives a thorough and accurate ADHD assessment.

What to expect

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or are further along, our team is here to support you every step of the way…

Self-report form

The first step starts with you, taking the step to looking further into what makes you, you. After deciding you want to explore the possibility of ADHD, you will complete an online self-report form (ASRS).

GP referral request

Discuss your completed self-report form with your GP, then use our referral letter template to help them refer you for an ADHD assessment with Xyla through the NHS Right to Choose pathway.

Referral confirmation email

Once your GP submits the referral, we’ll send you an email to confirm that we’ve received it. From there, we’ll enroll you in our system, and our team will begin reviewing your case.

Pre-assessment forms

After we confirm your referral, you’ll receive additional forms to complete, helping us gather important information for your assessment. A family member or close contact will also be asked to fill out an “informant questionnaire.” Once completed, you can submit all forms online.

Your online ADHD assessment

You’ll be scheduled for your ADHD assessment which will take place online through our secure video platform. You’ll need a phone, laptop, or tablet, a private space to talk and up to 2 hours for the appointment

Your assessment outcome

Your clinician will carefully review all the information gathered from the assessment and questionnaires, and will then prepare a clear and detailed diagnostic report for you.

Your report and feedback session

Your clinician will arrange a separate feedback session to share the diagnosis. You’ll then receive a detailed report that outlines the outcome of the assessment and includes helpful recommendations tailored by our clinical team.

Post-diagnostic support

If you’re diagnosed and choose not to take medication, you may be invited to join a personalised post-diagnostic program. This program provides strategies and tools to support your needs, with guidance from a highly trained neurodevelopmental expert.

Important information about your Right to Choose

It’s important to know that there are some situations where you cannot exercise your right to choose your service provider. You won’t be able to choose if:

You are receiving urgent or emergency care.
You are already getting treatment for the condition you’re being referred for.
You are in prison, temporarily released from prison, or in other specific settings (like a court, secure children’s home, secure training centre, immigration removal centre, or a young offender’s institution).
You are held in a hospital under the Mental Health Act 1983.
You are a serving member of the armed forces (but your family members in England have the same rights as other residents).

If any of these apply to you, you will not be able to directly choose Xyla as your provider at this time. If you’re unsure or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us for a confidential discussion.
