Obviously the cheapest option would be appealing, but I would also want to make sure any diagnosis is "official" in the eyes of my employer and I guess the NHS. I do have private medical insurance with work,but assume it wouldn't cover something I was potentially born with.
Ideally would want somewhere 1k or under. I would prefer my parents not have to attend in person as they live far from me.
Does anyone have any recommendations please? I am 33F if that matters.
The validity of a diagnosis rests on the qualifications of the clinician or clinicians doing the assessment. If you use a private provider who is registered with the NHS, and especially if the NHS uses them for 'Right to Choose' referrals (where the NHS pays for a private provider to make assessments), then you should be fine with a diagnosis being valid.
Is there a particular qualification they need? Are there any right to choose services still taking assesment requests? Thanks
