What was your experience like? I've got mine (unexpectedly) in 2 weeks time. Is it usually a questionnaire type process or more unstructured? Because it is over zoom-like video link rather than fave to face in person I'm unsure what to expect.
I had an initial assessment for my NHS referral...I didnt realise till the night before it was thr day after. It was on the phone. I had some notes with me which I had originally written for my GP. It wasa good job as it prompted me to talk about certain things I felt I wanted to mention which I don't think I woukd have if they hadn't asked.
I subsequently cancelled and went private as didn't want to wait for the next part. It was easier on zoom than the telephone for me. I emailed them additional notes before the assessment.
The notes helped me collect my thoughts and gave me prompts.
I'm definitely going to organise the notes I have made about myself beforehand. I'll never be able to structure my thoughts otherwise. Good tip.
