This is a detailed and comprehensive joint assessment with a consultant neurologist and consultant neuropsychiatrist. Part of the appointment involves detailed diagnostic explanation for the patient and advice on immediate strategies that can be put in place to aid symptom management (e.g. medication, self-help strategies). Following this appointment, the consultants will review up to 250 pages of medical records and put together a detailed report with diagnosis, treatment recommendations and/or onward referrals.
We can combine this with an assessment which is similar to the Immediate Needs Assessment under the Rehabilitation Code. This assessment is performed first, and then the joint neurology/neuropsychiatry assessment is conducted. This can provide an Immediate Needs Assessment which is properly informed by the diagnosis/diagnoses present. The costs for this would be in addition to the normal assessment fee and can be provided upon request.
