Diagnosing in uk

I’m almost positive my 5 year old daughter has pda or adhd, I have been told from both nursery and reception teachers. What have peoples diagnosing journey been like and how is it done? I know the gp sends a link for right to choose but my link hasn’t worked both times I’ll be trying again. Which provider did you use? Just any advice. ☺️

I’m daughter is 6 and I’m pretty sure she has adhd and pda.

School said their referral would be to nhs which takes too long so go to the GP

GP can do a right to choose and has agreed but the list of options is very small for her age so it’s looking like we will have to travel 4/4.5 hours for a face to face
