About Paloma
Our mission is to make NHS autism and ADHD assessments and care accessible within 4 weeks of a GP referral, and, in turn, help every child and adult achieve their potential.
In 2024, our founders, Mark and Darshak, were shocked to find that children and adults needing an NHS autism or ADHD assessment were waiting 4-10 years for these assessments. Delayed assessments result in many risks, including to their mental health. Furthermore, the much-needed pre/post-assessment support (outside of ADHD medications) is typically not funded by the NHS.
These long waits have built up due to increased recognition and understanding of neurodevelopmental conditions and a lack of investment and innovation within the NHS to meet the growing demand.
Mark and Darshak, with their 25 years of combined NHS experience, including building services that have treated over 1,000,000 patients in obesity & ophthalmology, founded Paloma to change this.
