What Is an Integrated Care Board (ICB)?
Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are NHS organisations responsible for planning and funding healthcare services within a geographical area of England.
Although NHS Right-to-Choose is a national policy, local commissioning decisions can sometimes affect how individual providers operate within specific ICB regions.
This means that referral availability can vary depending on where your GP practice is located.
Check Whether Your Local ICB Can Refer You to Mentalwell
Mentalwell provides NHS-funded Adult ADHD assessments through the NHS Right-to-Choose pathway.
Patients registered with a GP in England have the legal right to choose their provider for many NHS services, including Adult ADHD assessments. However, some Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) have introduced local commissioning arrangements or restrictions that may affect how quickly we can accept referrals from patients within their area.
This page provides the latest information about Mentalwell's NHS Right to Choose availability across England.
Psychiatrist-Only Team
Your care is led by highly qualified psychiatrists. This means top-level medical expertise for your ADHD treatment, as no nurses or pharmacists are involved in your direct clinical management.
Consistent Expert Care
Your dedicated psychiatrist will guide your entire journey – from your first assessment through medication adjustments (titration) and all follow-up appointments. This ensures continuous, personalised support from the same specialist.
Quick Access Treatment
Tired of long waiting lists? We offer prompt access to ADHD re-assessments and treatment, helping you get the support you need sooner.
Medication Management
Our psychiatrists carefully manage your medication titration to find the exact dose that works best for you. This means better results with fewer side effects.
Seamless GP Involvement
Once your medication is stable, we can work towards a shared care agreement. This allows your local GP to take over your ongoing monitoring and prescription writing, making long-term care more convenient for you (subject to your GP's approval).
