Private Autism Assessments in Worksop

NICE-Compliant Autism Diagnosis for Children & Adults

Our Worksop autism clinic at the Dukeries Business Centre, Retford Road, delivers private, NICE-compliant autism assessments for children aged 2+ and adults from across North Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw, and into South Yorkshire.

Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s adult autism waits exceed two years across most of North Nottinghamshire and Bassetlaw, with similar pressure on children’s pathways. Our private route is designed to give Worksop families and adults a faster, clinically equivalent alternative.

Our Worksop location supports clients from across Worksop itself, Retford, Mansfield, the wider Bassetlaw area, and into South Yorkshire.
