We have been working with BBC News to highlight our new pilot with Well Life Clinic, which is helping adults in Surrey receive their ADHD assessment and treatment earlier.

Each month, up to 100 people waiting for an ADHD assessment with our trust will be offered an appointment with Well Life Clinic, a private clinic led by senior GPs working in partnership with the NHS. This aims to reduce waiting times, which have risen nationally due to growing demand.

GPs at Well Life Clinic have received specialist training from our consultant psychiatrists, who will continue to provide expertise and oversight to support a safe and consistent service.

Our Chief Executive, Graham Wareham, spoke to BBC News as part of national coverage linked to the NHS ADHD taskforce report. The segment also included someone diagnosed through the pilot.

We recognise unpaid carers and the vital role they play in supporting people who use our services.

To mark the day, our Experience and Participation team has created a short myth-busting Carers Rights Quiz, a quick and fun way to test your knowledge.

Unpaid carers have important rights, including support with flexible working, access to a carer’s assessment, and being involved when the person they care for is discharged from hospital.

If you are a carer and need advice or support, you can find helpful information on our website. We are here to listen and support you.

Take the quiz and learn more about carers’ rights today. https://bit.ly/4rfpb2w
