PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMISSIONING
Consultant-led psychiatry, from first appointment to treatment
Atrom Mindcare is a CQC-registered psychiatric clinic.We see adults at our clinics in Epping and Leamington Spa, and online. We see children and young people privately at both clinics. In Leamington Spa we work under the JM Mental Health name.

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

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. A named Clinical Lead oversees each pathway. Autism assessment is a two-stage, psychiatrist-led MDT model: ADOS-2 first, then a psychiatric review within two weeks against DSM-5 and ICD-11.
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 listOn our Essex contract: 100% of 775 completed pathways met the 18-week RTT standard, 96.6% met the six-week DM01 standard, and the median wait to first appointment was 10 days (data at 15 June 2026).
