Referral help

StMartin72

I have a GP appointment on Jan 8th. I'm trying to get a referral to a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome. What are the key points I should bring up with the GP to get a referral. I really need some advice, thanks.

  • I got referred via my GP earlier this year, the method I used was to read through the NICE guidelines for assessment referrals (see below) and typed up a document featuring the guidelines and some examples of how each of the criteria affects me personally. I would personally recommend this approach or something similar as, in my experience, it helped me to keep on track when I was talking to the doctor and made sure that what i was saying was relevant.

    Hope this can be of some use to you.

    Good luck.
