Proudly providing NHS services

More than a provider. A promise to families.

Paloma Health was founded out of empathy for families navigating the challenges of accessing NHS assessments and support for autism and ADHD.

Our founders saw the patient anxiety and health impacts caused by growing NHS wait times. They joined forces in November 2023 to build a service that shortens those waits without cutting corners on clinical quality.

Today we assess children across England through NHS Right to Choose, at no cost to families, and give every family a clear report and practical next steps.

Mark and the team are fantastic! Having a child with Autism is a challenge in itself let alone the waiting time to get an assessment done. Our son is now being seen within 6 months instead of 2 years. All our questions have been answered in a timely manner and emails with educational material has helped us loads.
