Healios

Jd

Hi. 
This may have already been covered at some point in the past but had my referral through this weekend they are recommending a full assessment via healios as they are rammed with cases and recent events.  
has anyone gone through this process before and was it a comfortable process? 
reading the letter my heart started going and felt nervous as it suddenly seems very real. 
I am going to do it as will confirm a lot for me. Any advice appreciated.

  • Hi Jd, I had an assessment referral a few months ago, pre lockdown. At the time they were predicting at least 20 months before an appointment date. I had already read about Healios on here so I have asked my GP to be referred there instead. I'm still waiting for a response. What area are you in? I'm in Berkshire. I read someone in Hampshire got referred, but I know our wonderful NHS is more "regional" than "National"!

    That was probably me, I’m Hampshire. I waited a year for correspondence from my local Autism care clinic who then wrote to me saying that for speed they would be signposting me to Healios. Within about a month I’d had my 3 assessments, diagnosis and feedback session (what a whirlwind that was). They were excellent in their support. I hope you both get your assessments through soon!
