Initial assessment: (2 hour consultation time and 1 hour of document analysis) including report.
Although we will aim to complete your assessment in the two hour appointment, sometimes it will take longer to allow a full exploration of your symptoms and history in order to make an accurate diagnosis. You can help the consultant by completing all paperwork and questionnaires that you are sent in advance, and by being clear what questions you want to be answered during the appointment. Additional time spent with the psychiatrist is charged at £180 for every further 30 minutes or £6 per minute as outlined in the charges above. Similarly, you may be charged by the minute, for any extra time where communications with you or reviewing notes etc. exceeds what is deemed reasonable, but this is at the discretion of the clinician.
