how to access private diagnosis for adult

cuttlefish

There is a long and arduous tale about trying to get an assessment funded on the NHS that I won't go into in any depth, sufice to say that over a year after first asked my GP we are firmly at step -1.

I've tried to look for information on private diagnosis's (sp?) for adults to consider all options, but can't actually find any info (visual/info processing ability seams to be taking a holiday atm, what can you do?).

Is there a good place to start looking/reading? Any advice or tips?

thanks in advance

  • Hi there 

    I am having the same issue my son is 23 this year and trying to get him diagnosed is really bad in kent as we recently moved here. apparently there is a 3 year waiting list at this hospital in sevenoaks through the NHS, we know dont know if we have a social worker from the disability team anymore and where we originally came from have had one since he was 7 . The thing is I have just found out that if you go private they don't accept you or the diagnoses and disreguard it . Its a no win situation
