Hello, I'm Tina. I'm the lead clinician at NeuroFX. At our CQC-registered clinic, we offer specialist autism and ADHD assessments for children aged six and over and adults.
So after booking an assessment with us online or in person, you'll then be invited to take part in the onboarding process, and that is for you to be able to tell your story. It will include physical and mental health history, and then after that, you'll be sent some additional screening tools, which can all be completed in digital format online. You can pause at any time, and you can do that in the comfort of your own home. This enables me to better understand your story and your individual needs before we meet.
Next is your ADHD assessment, which is either online or in the clinic, coming to talk to me face to face. The process does take about two to three hours. That'll give you a chance to hopefully feel relaxed in an environment where you can tell me about the impacts and difficulties and how these have affected you. This follows all NICE guidelines.
In some situations, I may be able to tell you the diagnosis on the same day that we meet. In other scenarios, I might have to perhaps gain some more evidence. You might need to talk to other people, employers, family, partners, school, university, for me to be able to get a really good idea of the evidence, perhaps that you can't see yourself, and might help towards that diagnosis. You'll be provided a diagnostic report, provided I have all of that evidence, within 14 days.
So wherever you are on your journey, all the information is available on our website. You could book a call to talk to our team. You can book online. You can also simply email us if you have any questions. We do have payment plans available to pay in three or four instalments. So we look forward to meeting you and working with you on your journey.
Tina Fox is Clinical Lead at NeuroFX. Every adult ADHD assessment with QbCheck for Cambridge patients is led by her personally. A short video introduction to who we are, why we do this, and what to expect.
Take a couple of minutes with it. The point of the video is to make the room feel less unfamiliar before you even book a conversation.

Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner & Independent Prescriber (NISP)
Every NeuroFX adult ADHD assessment with QbCheck is conducted personally by Tina. 15 years of specialist mental health nursing experience and extensive neurodiversity specialist care, having conducted hundreds of ADHD and autism assessments. Tina is also an independent prescriber and an advanced specialist paediatric sleep practitioner. Assessments and prescribing follow NICE NG87 (ADHD diagnosis and management).
For Cambridge patients in particular, having one clinician end-to-end means no diagnostic hand-offs and no inconsistency between assessment and prescriber. Same person, all the way through.
Cambridge patients are seen in person at our Bedford clinic. This service is in-person only because it requires direct clinical observation or measurement that video cannot replicate.
Bedford Consulting Rooms on Goldington Road is a calm, residential-style space, not a hospital. Pay and display car park immediately next door (1 minute walk). Central rail station 8 minutes walk.
You are served clinically by NHS Central East ICB. A private NeuroFX assessment is typically 6 to 8 weeks (next available soon).
Cambridge is one of the places shaping the national conversation about ADHD. In March 2026 a guest editorial in the British Journal of Psychiatry, co-authored by Professor Tamsin Ford, Head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, argued there is no robust evidence ADHD is being over-diagnosed and that the real problem is people waiting too long for support. That picture is borne out close to home: CPFT board papers reported in local press described 9,757 people on the combined ADHD and autism waiting list with a mean wait of 92 weeks (a figure spanning Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough), and a report to Cambridgeshire County Council described 2,385 children waiting for a neurodevelopmental assessment.
From 1 April 2026, NHS commissioning for the area moved to the new NHS Central East Integrated Care Board, a merger of the former Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes, and Hertfordshire boards, although where people are seen has not changed. For someone weighing their options, that can mean staying on an NHS list, exploring NHS Right to Choose, or arranging a private assessment.
A private assessment with a CQC-registered clinic sits alongside NHS care rather than replacing it, and any move to shared care for medication remains at the GP's sole discretion, so it is worth speaking to your GP first if that matters to you. Locally there is also community support to draw on, from NAS Cambridge to the University's own neurodiversity support, alongside the awareness raised each year during Neurodiversity Celebration Week.
Adult ADHD services commissioned via this ICB. Right to Choose is available to some patients in this area.
Figures reflect the trust's own published service page at time of last review. Re-check before relying on it for any decision.
Two things every Cambridge patient asks about. We've separated them clearly here so you can decide your route with full information, rather than discovering the catch after you have booked.
Right to Choose is an NHS England policy letting eligible patients choose any NHS-contracted provider for ADHD assessment, including some private providers funded by the NHS. It is not a NeuroFX service.
It exists, has helped people, and has been overwhelmed in turn: published waits at many RTC providers are now measured in years. The ADHD UK tracker is the single best place to compare current RTC provider waits.
Entering into a shared-care agreement after private titration is entirely at the individual GP's sole discretion, and is also affected by NHS Central East ICB policy. We cannot guarantee any GP will take on prescribing responsibility following a private assessment or titration.
If shared care after titration is a priority for you, speak to your Cambridge GP before booking to understand their position. We will provide a structured handover designed to make that conversation as easy as possible.
Cambridge is one of those places that rewards looking beyond the obvious. Yes, the colleges are extraordinary -- King's Chapel on a winter morning, punts on the Backs in summer -- but the city is also a functioning, genuinely exciting modern economy. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus is one of the largest concentrations of medical research in the world, and the technology cluster around the station has been growing for decades.
Underneath the tourist surface, Cambridge is a city of working scientists, nurses, teachers and software engineers who live in a place that happens to be extraordinarily beautiful. It has a high concentration of people who arrived for education and simply never left, which gives it a particular demographic character: well-educated, curious, and often carrying more than they admit.
This page is for Cambridge, Cambridge city, Cambourne, Histon and Impington, Sawston, Trumpington, Newmarket, Huntingdon, St Ives and surrounding villages.Schools, universities, employers and parent-carer networks in the Cambridge area all have routes you can use, some free, all helpful while you wait or after a diagnosis.
For children and young people in this area, the LEA is Cambridgeshire County Council. Your child's SENCO is the right first call about how a private assessment is used in an EHCP application or annual review.
Our reports are designed to support DSA applications and Equality Act 2010 reasonable-adjustment requests at universities, colleges and employers in the area.
