After Xyla receives your patient referral
Step 2. Referral confirmation
Once Xyla receives your patient’s referral, you’ll receive an email confirmation to let you know we’ve received it.
Step 3. Full diagnostic assessment in line with NICE guidance
Our expert clinical team will guide your patient through our thorough online ADHD assessment process, ensuring a detailed evaluation.
Step 4. Medication
Once a patient is diagnosed with ADHD through our service, we offer a full medication pathway in partnership with Boots Digital Health, including initiation, titration, and stabilisation. Our clinical team works closely with patients to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Important information about NHS Right to Choose
As a responsible healthcare provider, we cannot accept patients who do not meet our suitability criteria. Your patients won’t be able to choose Xyla if:
- They are receiving urgent or emergency care.
- They are already getting treatment for the condition you’re being referred for.
- They 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).
- They are held in a hospital under the Mental Health Act 1983.
- They 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 a patient you are referring, they will not be able to directly choose Xyla as your provider at this time.
