Right to Choose – Autism Assessments
Under NHS England’s Right to Choose legislation, if your local NHS service cannot offer you a timely autism assessment, you have the legal right to choose an alternative provider — including Seven Care Services.
As an accredited Right to Choose provider, we work with various NHS Trusts to deliver NICE-compliant autism assessments for children, young people, and adults across England. This allows you to access our service more quickly while still funded by the NHS.

You are eligible if:
You are registered with a GP in England.
