I'm getting more stressed about my assessment. I think it's the not knowing what will happen, where will it be, who will be there. I get really stressed when it's something new and I have no way of doing any research. Can you tell me what will it be like, how many people will be there, what sort of questions get asked, how long does it last for. Sorry I'm just trying to get a picture in my mind of what could happen on the day
I had questionnaires to complete prior to a 6 hour long one to one assessment.
my sister attended with me for some of it.
The findings from this then went to a multidisciplinary meeting where professionals discussed further than I had an in person feedback session (I had the option for this to be over the phone but prefer face to face communication).
I found it all rather smooth and my assessor was very considerate. I’m female and there was an acknowledgment of masking and the impact of this which was incredibly insightful for me.
edit: this was through NHS
