GP refused to refer me

Lou13

Struggling to navigate on how to get referred for an assesment on the NHS.. I have explained all my struggles to my GP which aren't new struggles these have been from a young child and I'm now 30! Things are becoming increasingly difficult. The GP got me to do a questionnaire and apparently I didn't score quite enough. This has baffled me how they can do one peice of paper and determine I shouldn't be referred. I struggled to answer alot of them and some questions didn't seem quite relevant to me for example one said have I got an intense interest? Which i don't have a particular intense interest although I seem to intensely obsess over many different things that end up consuming me but I don't have a particular interest as such as I obviously answered that one as a no. Is there anywhere to go from here? If the GP isn't wanting to refer me what can I do?

  • Perhaps consider changing to a different GP. I took a questionnaire in from the company that do the right to choose, I believe it was a AQ10 and I’m sure the question you mentioned was on there. Maybe the answer to that question is a yes given there’s 2 ways of looking at it, I would say even if you have many interests that obsessing over them would be considered intense. I do understand that some of the questions are not specific enough and can cause confusion.

    Don’t give up, some GP’s don’t give a great deal of encouragement and just want to get you out of the door. It’s okay to disagree with their findings.

    Good luck
