A Consultant Psychiatrist leads every patient's care, confirms every diagnosis, and remains clinically responsible throughout. That is the model every partnership is built on.

Five routes into the same clinical service. The model, the governance and the reporting are identical whichever route a patient arrives through. What differs is the funding arrangement and the contract.

SERVICE SCOPE

Services and funding routes

Adult services only. Right to Choose referrals are accepted from any adult registered with an NHS GP in England. Private medical insurance is subject to the terms of the individual policy and to an agreement with the insurer. Organisation funded covers employers, occupational health providers, universities and charities purchasing directly.

Service	Right to Choose	Self-pay	PMI	Delivery
Adult ADHD assessment	Available	Available	Subject to policy	In person or online
ADHD titration and medication review	Available	Available	Subject to policy	In person or online
Adult autism assessment	Available	Available	Subject to policy	In person or online
General adult psychiatric assessment	Not available	Available	Subject to policy	In person or online
Psychological therapy	Not available	Available	Subject to policy	In person or online
Deep rTMS	Not available	Available	Subject to policy	In person in Epping only

Deep rTMS is not commissioned through the NHS Right to Choose route and cannot be accessed under a Right to Choose referral. It is available on a self-pay basis, through private medical insurance where the policy covers it, and under an organisation funded agreement.

CLINICAL MODEL

Consultant-led throughout

Commissioners, insurers and employers have raised questions about assessment quality in parts of the private ADHD market. Our answer is structural rather than procedural.

01 One consultant owns the case
A named Consultant Psychiatrist takes the first appointment and stays responsible through diagnosis, treatment and review. Care is not handed between staff at each stage, and no assessment is delegated to a non-medical practitioner working to a checklist.

02 Every diagnosis confirmed by a consultant
Diagnosis is made and recorded by a Consultant Psychiatrist on the GMC Specialist Register, with differential diagnosis and co-occurring conditions considered in the same episode rather than referred onward.

03 Titration under the same clinician
Medication is initiated and adjusted by the consultant who made the diagnosis, with physical health monitoring at each review and a written plan for the GP at the point of shared care.

04 Consultant capacity, not a waiting list
Because the consultant carries the case from the start, there is no second queue between assessment and treatment.
