Hi,
just wondering if anyone has received a diagnosis through the private medical route?

I keep considering it, to be honest the cost isn’t that much of an issue but I’m pretty conscious that if I paid a private provider for a diagnosis they would most likely provide one and that wouldn’t be as useful.
You are paying for the assessment, rather than the diagnosis. The clinicians usually also do NHS work and they are licensed by the appropriate professional medical bodies and have to adhere to their standards. The fact that the patient rather than the government is paying should have no bearing on their medical opinion.
