What are NHS waits like in London?

NHS England publishes waiting times for sleep studies each month under sleep physiology in its diagnostics dataset (DM01), alongside consultant-led referral to treatment waits for London providers, so you can check the current position for your area before going private.

Do I have to travel into London?

Not necessarily. In-person clinics cluster around Harley Street (W1), the City, Canary Wharf and Chiswick, with growing capacity in Stratford and Croydon. Most clinics are within 10 minutes of an Elizabeth line, Northern line or Overground station. Most specialists also work by video, so you can be assessed from anywhere in Greater London if travelling is difficult.

Am I charged when I submit this request?

No. Submitting the request is free and no card details are taken. Fees are agreed directly with the specialist you choose before anything is booked.

How quickly will someone contact me?

Within 24 hours. If you submit late at night or over a weekend, expect a reply the next working day, and always by phone or email using the contact details you give.

Which assessments can I request?

ADHD and autism assessments, mental health assessments, and specialist reviews across nutrition, sleep, hormonal health and physiotherapy. If you are unsure what you need, ask for a screening call instead and we will help you choose.

Do you keep my clinical information?

What you type into this booking form is stored so our clinical team can act on it, and it is visible only to authorised staff. Free screening answers are separate and are never stored.

What if I am in crisis?

This form is not for emergencies. If you or someone else is at immediate risk, contact 999 or NHS 111, or use the crisis support page for UK helplines available right now.
