Contact and find us
Contact NeSS for information, appointments, and support relating to autism and ADHD services in Nottinghamshire.
The Neurodevelopment Specialist Service is based at Highbury Hospital.
Our service operates 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (we have no inpatient facilities).
The length of appointments can vary so we try to give some indication of this on your appointment letter. Your letter will say who your appointment is with.
Meet the team
NeSS is a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). This means we are a team of staff from different professions.
Our assessment team contains:
- Clinical psychologists
- Speech and language therapists
- Psychiatrists
- Occupational therapists
- Nurses
We also have a team of non-medical prescribers who manage ADHD medication and shared care.
Your appointment letter will tell you which member of the team you will see at your appointment.
Diagnostic assessments for autism usually involve more than one member of the team.
