• An exceptional service and timely assessments, as well as clear strengths and needs-based outcomes, regardless of whether an autism diagnosis is made.

  About Paloma Health
We aim to provide families with high-quality NHS autism assessments within 4 weeks of GP referral. Our children and young peoples autism assessments went live in November 2024, and we are launching childrens ADHD assessments and treatment in the summer of 2025. We were founded as we are deeply annoyed that families are waiting 2-10 years for NHS childrens autism and ADHD assessments, and this crisis has recently been highlighted by the Childrens Commissioner for England:https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/blog/childrens-commissioner-warns-of-invisible-crisis-as-delays-and-inequalities-laid-bare-among-children-with-neurodevelopmental-conditions/ How is Paloma Health different?
• We are clinically led and Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered, with a friendly and approachable team.
• We have built our own software platform to:
• Give our patients a more consumer-like experience of healthcare.
• Free our assessors from admin to focus on patient care.
• Our strong culture, including transparency, a sense of community, and supporting staff career development.
• The experience of our founders (Dr Mark Jenkins & Darshak Shah), who have previously built tech-enabled NHS obesity and ophthalmology services. Combined, their previous companies have treated over 1 million NHS patients in the last 15 years!
• Being backed by leading healthcare investors (Triple Point Ventures and Heal Capital), allowing us to move fast.
