Consultation
There are a number of different ways you can see your psychiatrist to discuss your health and wellbeing.
Face To Face Consultation
You can book an appointment to see your psychiatrist or one of their team.
This is usually a 60 minute appointment with the Consultant. You can attend alone or with a family member or friend. You will be given an opportunity to see the Consultant on your own. The assessment may involve a discussion, psychological testing and any necessary physical examination (if appropriate). The Consultant is able to give a provisional diagnosis, usually at the end of this assessment. A treatment plan is constructed with your involvement and agreement. The consultant can issue you a private prescription for any medication he is recommending or write to your GP requesting the same. A detailed report is sent to your GP about the consultation and plan of treatment and a copy is posted to you.
The purpose of assessment is to:
1. Clarify diagnosis;
2. Create a care plan; and
3. Increase your understanding of the condition.
A follow up appointment is offered (if necessary and appropriate).
Telephone Consultation
You can book a telephone consultation to speak with your psychiatrist or one of their team.
Video Consultation
You can book a Video consultation with your psychiatrist or one of their team.
