Following the roll out of the new chat bot the technical issues have now been resolved. Thank you to all the patients that have responded. For those unable to respond at the time further links will be sent out by text message in the coming days.
We are using this service to ensure our electronic records are up to date. This will enable us to use our clinical resources as efficiently as possible and reduce waiting times. Again thank you for your patience and support as we continue to develop the service.

Patient’s will be contacted in the next few weeks by text to provide an update to all accepted for assessment by the Oxfordshire Adult ADHD Service to reassure you that you remain on our waiting list.
We have received an unprecedented number of referrals over the last three years which has far exceeded the service’s capacity. The demand continues to exceed our clinical capacity and we are actively working with executive managers within Oxford Health Foundation NHS Trust and with commissioners to try and improve this situation.
We know because of your length of wait your circumstances may have changed. There will be a link in the text message that will guide you through and will be asking some questions to check if you still need to remain on our waiting list.
We appreciate this situation is far from ideal and can only offer our apologies at this time. There are numerous resources you may find helpful which are available on the resources tab on this website.
Once again, we apologise for the delay in being able to offer you an appointment.
What to do during this period
During this pause period, the service will continue to offer assessment and treatment to existing referrals.
This decision is exclusively for Adult ADHD, and NOT CAMHS ADHD/NDC services.
For anyone seeking a new referral to our service, GPs may decide to support people to choose from an alternative NHS-approved provider under the NHS Right to Choose rules.
Anyone experiencing challenges with their mental health can continue to access support for their mental health care in the usual way via their GP, talking therapies or the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire NHS 24/7 Mental Health Helpline via 111.
We apologise for the impact this will have and we look forward to being open to referrals again in the future.
