Update on diagnosis

Hi. I went through the right to choose with Clinical Partners. I knew I had a 5 month wait but they are true to their word and deal with cases in the order they arrive. From the actual first appointment to feedback took less than 2 weeks. They were brilliant! 

I have just signed up through my GP for right to choose. I don’t know how long I will have to wait to be assessed. I had to do the short 10 question assessment and then a big long form which I had to answer in sentences. It took quite a long time to fill in. Now I am just waiting to hear back. Not sure how to feel right now or what I should be doing. 

Well done.

The wait will seem like forever even if it is only a few weeks. Then it will arrive suddenly and you will worry about having enough time to prepare.

That’s brilliant news!

That’s great to hear - well done! x

Once you’ve completed that next stage with your GP, you might find the advice here helpful in the run up to the assessment itself:

There’s also more information here about that next stage, including about what happens during an assessment:

That is excellent news good luck
