This session will provide essential clarity on the three main routes to diagnosis:
-
NHS Pathway: The free, publicly funded route, including its typical waiting times and post-diagnostic support.
-
Private Pathway: A self-funded option, outlining the costs and the critical factors to consider, such as the importance of securing a Shared Care Agreement with your GP for ongoing medication.
-
Right to Choose: The NHS-funded legal right in England to select your mental healthcare provider, and considerations that need to be made if you choose to do so.
