FAQs for GPs
Can I refer for ADHD only?
Yes. Dr. Patel offers standalone ADHD assessments using tools like DIVA-5, or combined evaluations for autism and ADHD together.
Are these reports accepted by NHS and employers?
Yes. Reports are written to meet NHS standards, and are routinely used for care planning, workplace accommodations, and university disability support.
Can I speak to Dr. Patel before referring?
Yes—email for a brief call to confirm suitability or ask about complex presentations.
Is the service suitable for neurodivergent patients uncomfortable in clinical environments?
Absolutely. The online format is designed to reduce anxiety and overstimulation. Sessions are trauma-informed and person-centered.
