Referrals to Your Path

We welcome referrals from GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, educational professionals and other health and care professionals who are supporting an adult aged 18 or over who may benefit from an autism, ADHD or combined assessment.

Our private service provides a clear, timely route to specialist assessment, with a written report that can support your ongoing work with the person.

Who we can see

• Adults aged 18 and over who are able to take part in a clinical assessment and give informed consent
• Clients who are self-funding or whose employer or another party is paying privately
• People for whom remote, face-to-face or hybrid assessment is clinically appropriate

What we do not currently provide

To help you refer appropriately:

• We do not currently accept NHS Right to Choose referrals, and NHS commissioners cannot refer clients to us for NHS-funded assessment at this time.
• We do not currently initiate or titrate ADHD medication. If medication is being considered, we will give relevant information that you or the person can share with a prescribing service. Shared-care arrangements depend on the agreement of the clinicians and services involved and cannot be guaranteed by Your Path.
• We are not an emergency, crisis or urgent mental health service. If there are concerns about immediate risk, please follow your local urgent pathways, call 999, or contact NHS 111.
• [We do not currently see under-18s.]

How to refer

1. Talk to the person first. Referrals are made with the person’s knowledge and consent. They will be asked to confirm that they agree to our involvement.
2. Send your referral by email to [referrals email] or support@yourpathneuro.co.uk, or use our enquiry form and choose “Referral Enquiry”. [Alternatively, use our referral form: link.]
3. Include, where available:
   • the person’s name, date of birth, contact details and GP details
   • your name, role, professional registration and contact details
   • the reason for referral, including which assessment you are considering (autism, ADHD or both)
   • relevant developmental, mental and physical health history, and any previous assessments or reports
   • current medication and any known risk information
   • any adjustments or communication needs the person has
4. We will review the referral and contact the person to explain the pathway, fees and next steps. We aim to acknowledge referrals within [2] working days.

Because our service is private, the person is responsible for fees unless we agree otherwise in writing before booking. Please make sure they are aware of our fees before referring.

After the assessment

• The person receives a comprehensive written report and a feedback appointment.
• With their consent, we will send a copy of the report or a summary to the referrer and to their GP.
• Where appropriate, we will signpost the person to suitable next steps, including support, further assessment or prescribing services.
• We will not share information with you or anyone else without the person’s consent, unless the law allows or requires it. See our Privacy Notice.
