Hi, did anyone else get referred to NHS right to choose for their assessment? I moved countries therefore all my medical documents have been lost which is pretty stupid, so now i have to go through this whole process again
My psychiatrist told me that she’d refer me to the NHS right to choose assessment scheme, which apparently has a much shorter waiting time (around 7 months) however it is all done over video call. I am not sure how I feel about this as it will be a lot harder to communicate, just wondering if anyone else has gone through this assessment method?
I went through video calls with assessment. In terms of communication I wondered if it would be appropriate but it turned out ok. I did have one short meeting in person which kind of felt a bit more institutional in a verifying way. The end report was online and was ok.
Hi. I had an online assessment via the NHS.
I had several forms to complete and 2 one hour online assessments with clinicians, one being a consultant psychiatrist.
I found it much easier to communicate, rather than harder.
I particularly dislike being with professionals face to face so them being on screen suited me fine.
