About us
Making access to better care possible
Clinical Partners is a leading, outcomes-driven mental healthcare provider, improving lives through effective, personalised, safe and technology-enabled care. We have 22 NHS and private clinics around the UK, employ over 550 staff and partner with over 650 clinicians across the country. Through face-to-face and online appointments, our services include specialist mental health and neurodiversity diagnostic assessments, general outpatient psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy for people of all ages.
Our Business Units & Shared Services
Clinical Partners brings together three specialist business units, supported by corporate function teams in our Shared Services function. Together, these teams combine clinical expertise, operational excellence and specialist support to improve access to mental healthcare and deliver high-quality care at every stage of the patient journey.
Our NHS business unit works in partnership with NHS organisations across the UK to deliver specialist mental health and neurodiversity services through Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and dedicated contracts.
Through the NHS Choice Framework and other commissioned services, we provide ADHD assessments, ADHD medication support and Autism assessments for children aged five and above, young people and adults. Working alongside NHS partners, we develop practical solutions that respond to local needs and help improve access to specialist care.
Our Consumer business unit brings together our Private services and the Oxford ADHD and Autism Centre, giving patients flexible routes to specialist assessment, treatment and ongoing support.
We provide ADHD and Autism assessments, ADHD medication support, psychiatric assessments, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and talking therapies for children aged five and above, young people and adults. Patients can access our services through private healthcare, private medical insurance or direct access, with most appointments delivered remotely alongside face-to-face care at clinics nationwide.
For many people, medication is the final step in a long journey towards managing their ADHD. Our Medication Management service supports patients to find the medication approach that's right for them, whether they've been diagnosed through our NHS partnerships, by another provider or are accessing care through private healthcare or private medical insurance.
Our team provides expert support throughout treatment, helping patients find the right medication and dosage while keeping patient safety at the centre of every decision.
Shared Services brings together the specialist teams that support every part of Clinical Partners. This includes Sales & Marketing, Finance, Technology & Data, People & Workforce, Business Development, Communications, Brand & Public Affairs, Governance & Compliance, Patient Services and Clinical Quality.
Together, these teams provide the expertise, systems and support that help patients access the care they need, strengthen relationships with NHS and private partners, develop our technology capability, support our colleagues and ensure our services continue to grow and evolve.
