Greater Manchester services have reported sustained pressure on adult ADHD pathways, with several trusts operating long routine waits and prioritising urgent cases. Right to Choose referrals from a Greater Manchester GP are usually accepted by national providers.

Coverage here is genuinely hybrid. In-person appointments are typically available in the city centre and Salford, with remote appointments covering the wider county.

If your symptoms shift across the month or have changed since your late thirties, read ADHD and PMS, oestrogen and dopamine and ADHD and menopause before your appointment. It usually makes the first session far more useful.
