New Clinic Opening to Meet Rising Demand for Private ADHD Assessments in Basingstoke

We're thrilled to announce the opening of our newest office in Basingstoke on 1st September, strategically located to meet the increased demand for Autism and ADHD assessments in the Southeast region. This expansion comes in response to the escalating need for private ADHD assessments, challenges with NHS waiting lists, and the imperative for Right to Choice options for patients.

Psicon has been steadfastly providing services for the NHS in Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire for several years. Basingstoke emerged as a natural location to establish an additional clinic, ensuring that patients in these areas no longer need to undertake lengthy journeys to Canterbury. This move not only underscores our commitment to enhancing accessibility but also extends the reach of our services across the Southeast.

The rise in demand for private ADHD assessments nationwide is undeniable, and at Psicon, a trusted provider of private ADHD assessments and neurodevelopmental services, we have been keenly observing this. We've noted a rise in enquiries, highlighting the urgent need for accessible and prompt ADHD assessment services. This surge in demand mirrors a broader trend, as recently reported by The Guardian, detailing the overwhelming influx of individuals seeking autism and ADHD services across the NHS.

According to The Guardian's findings, the UK is grappling with an unprecedented avalanche of demand for autism and ADHD services, resulting in soaring waiting lists to unprecedented levels. Figures from NHS Digital reveal that as of December 2023, approximately 172,040 individuals were on waiting lists for assessments—a significant rise from previous years. This surge in demand has led to prolonged waiting times, stretching NHS resources to their limits.

Across the country, the impact of this surge in demand is keenly felt. Families and individuals dealing with the challenges of ADHD are faced with prolonged waiting times, exacerbating stress and hindering access to vital support systems.

Our upcoming expansion into Basingstoke is a direct response to the growing demand for private ADHD and autism assessments in the southeast of England. With our established reputation for excellence and a dedicated team of experts, Psicon is poised to meet the needs of individuals and families understanding ADHD. Our new location in Basingstoke will provide a lifeline for those seeking timely assessments and support if people choose to pay privately or through a Right to Choose referral from their GP. We can offer relief from the long waiting lists impacting the NHS if people choose us.

At Psicon, we understand the importance of timely identification and support for individuals with ADHD. Our comprehensive assessments are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, providing a pathway to understanding and empowerment. By offering expedited access to quality care, our mission is to offer the highest quality diagnostic assessments, support and help individuals to understand their unique minds.

The rise in demand for private ADHD assessments underscores the critical need for proactive solutions. Psicon is committed to providing high quality assessments, ensuring that no individual is left behind in their journey for understanding and support.
