General Psychiatric Assessment  

This appointment includes reading background information (if available), pre-assessment questionnaires for a child and parent(s), a face to face assessment with a child and parent(s) that lasts for a maximum of 120 minutes. During this appointment, feedback will be provided. The detailed report will be sent to you and a copy to your GP electronically within 4 week’s of your appointment. Please note that if you need more time than the initial assessment provides to discuss the formulation / diagnosis / treatment for your child then it is necessary to organise a follow up appointment which is not included in this package.
