South East London Adult ADHD Referrals Triage Service
NHS South East London is delighted to introduce the new South East London (SEL) Adult ADHD Referrals Triage Service, which launched on Monday 3 November 2025.
The service is designed for all adults registered with a GP in the boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark, who present with suspected ADHD symptoms and meet the criteria for a first ADHD assessment.
The service will be delivered by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust across all six boroughs.
The demand for referrals to ADHD assessment services has rapidly increased in the last few years and the service is one of several steps which NHS South East London is taking to provide more consistent and equitable access to SEL patients for new ADHD assessments.
From Monday 3 November 2025, all referrals for adult patients requiring a first ADHD assessment will be sent to the SEL Adult ADHD Referrals Triage Service. The new team will review referrals and complete a clinical triage with patients, which will include offering information about all available ADHD treatment options.
The new service will be responsible for sending patient referrals to providers who will conduct a first ADHD assessment. This includes South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and any independent sector provider with a qualifying contract under Right to Choose.

Please note that referrals for adults requiring an ADHD review, who have an existing ADHD diagnosis and are registered with a GP within Lambeth, Lewisham and Croydon, should continue to refer directly to the 3 Borough service.
