Child & Adult General Psychiatry and Cognitive Assessment
What to Expect
Pre-Assesment
We will contact you to learn more about you or your child, current symptoms and duration as well as academic and occupational history. We will ask about developmental history as well as gaining collateral history. With the appropriate consent we will also request GP summary care records
General Psychiatry Assessment
Our experienced Psychiatrist will complete a general psychiatric assessment which will give a full overview of your or your child's mental health, including screening for sub-threshold mental health difficulties as well as neurodevelopmental difficulties.
Cognitive Assessment
Your Cognitive assessment will be completed on a separate day with our Clinical Psychologist. After the assessment our Clinical Psychologist and Psychiatrist will be able to form a compreshensive understanding of your mental health using an MDT approach and be able to formulate a diagnosis and management plan, including if needed medication and/or therapy options as well as reasonable adjustments
Report
Within 2 weeks of your assessment you will recieve a draft comprehensive Psychiatry and Cognitive report, which you will be able to review before we share this with your GP. The report will contain your psychological formulation as well as diagnosis (as applicable) and treatment recommendations and details of any prescriptions provided
First Follow Up
The assessment cost includes the first follow up with your Psychiatrist at no extra charge as well as any prescriptions that are needed. This allows you time to ask questions and discuss treatment options in detail
Further Follow Up
We are able to provide further follow up to existing customers at a low cost of £150 per follow up (including prescriptions as indicated). We will work with you to establish shared care with your GP
