How to refer via Right to Choose · what to expect from our reports
The Process:
You cannot self-refer.
You must discuss your symptoms with your GP, ask for a referral, and explicitly request to use your Right to Choose to be sent to a specific, qualified NHS or independent provider.
Providers:
The chosen provider must have an NHS contract in place to deliver the assessment and care you need and have a named consultant or clinical lead.
Skylight Psychiatry meets all the above criteria to be a ‘qualified provider’.
We have a contract with Norfolk & Suffolk ICB to deliver Adult ADHD and Autism Diagnostic Assessments (indicating that our assessments are of a quality and price that meet the requirements of delivering to the NHS).
Our Clinical Director, Dr Caryl Marshall is our named consultant psychiatrist and clinical lead.

Medication/ Treatment:
In some cases, Right to Choose only covers the diagnosis; titration or ongoing medication may require a separate local NHS referral depending on your ICB’s Shared Care Agreement.
