Anyone who is considering assessment, try solutions4diagnostics via right to choose if you haven’t seen your GP yet.. I had the first part of my assessment a week after referral and the second part is this evening.. so 3 weeks from referral to final part of assessment! Sharing in case it helps anyone x 

Hi, this is reassuring to read, as my GP referral was sent through a few weeks ago and I haven't heard anything yet. So, you are saying you didn't hear from P-UK for 7 months? Not even to confirm that they have your referral and you are on the waiting list? 

Any updates? Did you get to book your appointment?

:-(

It took 7 months from referral to hearing from PUK when they sent me a big batch of forms to return. 

You will get sent details for an online portal where there will be a welcome letter waiting for you - YOU CAN USE this portal to send messages to either admin or a doctor. They then reply within the portal, etc. It takes them a few days for any reply. 

It can't hurt to chase it but you may be a bit premature. 

Hi Rob

I wouldn't be too worried. I was referred by my GP in mid May, had a first confirmation from PUK on June 21st, took until August to complete and return my self-assessment forms and then had a call from them on Sept 22nd to book my assessment on Oct 12th. So from referral to assessment was 5 months. 

They did also stop taking referrals for a while and although it says they try to respond to messages within five days it took two weeks last time I asked something and right now I'm waiting for them to even open my message sent a week ago! The psychiatrist also told me my report would take two weeks but so far it's been a month. I think they're just snowed under, like most other places.

There's no harm checking up though. Good luck. Once they got going I found they were on the ball, I just don't expect too much chat (or want it!) 

I suggest calling and asking them for a status update: 0330 124 1980
