Assessment day

Hergé

Well it's finally arrived, I'm getting my assignment today. I've been the NHS waiting list for almost 3 years without any end in sight.

I requested "the right to choose" from my GP about a month ago, I was given a list of providers and I chose Skylight as they had a practice not too far away.

I got an email from them within a week with links for various questionnaires. An appointment for a video interview came shortly after that and now I have my face to face assessment.

To say I'm quietly freaking out is an understatement!

I know there's no real pass or fail to the questions but it doesn't really help. 

If it turns out that I'm really not part of the community, I don't know where to turn next.

  • Just a quick update. Unsurprisingly it was fine, the assessor was great, she let me ramble on and just asked a few questions to nudge me in a certain direction. 

    No toothbrush and no frog book questions. Apparently I managed to cover all the bases without them.

    I just have to wait for the report to finally get my confirmation or not.

    Thanks for the kind wishes

    Really nice to hear that you found the process went well. Is it a ok situation to be in and do they make you feel at ease? I am on a 10 month wait through right to choose and it m feeling how you first said you felt. It took me over a year to pluck up the courage to approach my Gp prior to that.

    D they ask the relevant questions and is there something that could perhaps do to prepare? I’m very forgetful and struggle with it find the words I need to use which is making me worry already. 

    Sorry for all the questions and well done for getting through it

    Oh god, the toothbrush and that blasted frog book. That frog book actually made me so upset, I was so confused and I hated the nonsensical story.

    Apparently I was quite pedantic in the way I changed the placement of the imaginary toothbrush holder and water glass.

    Glad it was not too stressful for you. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long.
