About Paloma
Mark & Darshak founded Paloma as they were frustrated that families are waiting 2-10 years for NHS children's autism and ADHD assessments. Learn more about the crisis in NHS children's neurodevelopmental services from this Children's Commissioner for England here:
Paloma's mission is to make children's autism and ADHD assessments and care available on the NHS within 4 weeks of GP referral. We are making this happen by redesigning care pathways, building new software & AI tools, and training up a specialist clinical workforce.
We are growing incredibly fast to meet the need for autism and ADHD care, and we have:
Raised £5m pre-seed funding from leading healthcare investors (Triple Point Ventures and Heal Capital)
Grown our fantastic team to 80 people, and are hiring ~100 more over the next 12 months
How is Paloma Health different from other Neurodevelopmental providers?
We are clinically-led, Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered, and rigorous in recording our outcomes and family experiences.
Our in-house product & engineering team ensures we can:
Give families a more consumer-like experience of healthcare
Free our clinicians from documentation to focus on supporting families
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) allows us to move fast
