NHS Essex Integrated Care Board is the NHS body that plans and pays for health services in Essex. This page sets out what it publishes about NHS Right to Choose for ADHD and autism assessments.
Docorix read the board’s pages on 9 October 2026. The pages show no date; their page data shows the adults’ page was last edited on 1 October 2026 and the children’s page on 1 September 2026. Everything below is what the board says, not something Docorix has checked: boards change these pages without notice, and a provider being listed does not mean it is taking referrals now. Confirm with your GP and the provider before you rely on it.
What the board says
- Quality assured
- The board says all providers listed on its pages have been quality assured by NHS Essex and meet NHS standards for safety, effectiveness and clinical care.
- Alongside local NHS services
- For adults these providers are in addition to Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust. For children they work alongside that trust, North East London NHS Foundation Trust and Provide Community Interest Company.
- Choosing a provider outside the network
- You can choose a different provider under Right to Choose, but the board says it is then the patient’s responsibility to check what the provider offers, whether treatment such as medication is included, and whether it will enter into shared care agreements.
- Children: GP referral only
- Referrals to these providers must be made by your GP. The board says schools are not able to refer children under Right to Choose.
- More to come
- The children’s page says additional providers have been commissioned and it will be updated when they go live.
Adults: autism assessment
The board says these providers offer the same autism assessment service as the local NHS trust.

“Website” is the address an NHS board publishes for that provider. A Docorix listing is shown where the official register has the same operator or the same website – it carries the name of the provider’s registered premises, so it can read differently from the provider’s trading name. A dash means none was found. Docorix is not part of the NHS and cannot make or speed up a referral. Your board is the one that covers your GP practice – if you are not sure which that is, ask your practice.
