How our service works
Paloma Health is only available in England, and only NHS GPs in England can refer into our service
NHS GP referral
To begin the process, your NHS GP will need to refer your child to one of our services:
- Autism Assessment - Hybrid and Remote options for children aged from their 2nd birthday up to their 18th birthday.
- ADHD Assessment - Remote service for children from their 8th birthday up to their 18th birthday.
We’re happy to support your GP with any questions they may have.
The assessment
Our assessments follow NICE and NHS guidelines and are carried out by a team of qualified assessors.
The process for both assessments include:
- Parent and Social Context Questionnaires
- Parent Interview
- Child Interview Observation (depending on the pathway)
We’ll keep you informed at each stage so you always know what to expect.
The outcome
At the end of the process, you will receive a clear, easy-to-understand outcome report with practical support and recommendation regardless if a diagnosis is given.
As an NHS provider, we will also securely share the report with you and your NHS GP, ensuring continuity of care and next steps.
