Been diagnosed takes a long time in England for Adults for me 3 years, I feel lucky to end up with Psychiatry UK service, which is mainly online. I did find it lacked timely social contact, which Neurodiverse Adults desperately need. This service has so much potential and I would welcome anyone who wants to make it bigger and better to contact me. Staff in this service that I received were so helpful at all times and I am so grateful to them. So, please extend this service, so that people can be diagnosed!

Firstly, we really appreciate your time in leaving such a detailed review. All feedback, good or bad, gives us a better understanding of how our service feels to patients during their journey through P-UK, particularly as the majority of our communications are online. We are continually working to improve our patient interface to make our processes more accessible and neurodivergent-friendly, and we would welcome your offer to work with us on this. If you would still be happy to send in your suggestions directly, or to take part in a future focus group, could I ask you to please make contact via our Patient Experience Team at: experience@psychiatry-uk.com. In the meantime, we are pleased that your experience has been so helpful and we look forward to hearing from you when convenient.

The service was very helpful and gave me a lot of confidence. There was also good communication about waiting times for appointments and I appreciated the attention to care & messaging within the service. A secondary general waiting times update / dated waiting times information (for those who had waited the initial time before being seen) would be appreciated, instead of questioning whether to call the service and ask. Many thanks

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with our service. As an online provider, it is always particularly helpful to hear that patients have found communications via our portal to be reliable and responsive. As a member of P-UK's Communications Team, I have noted your suggestion regarding updates on wait times. Although we provide monthly updates via our website, I will make sure that these updates are also made on our patient portal to improve our information system. Thank you for your suggestion and for recommending our service. We wish you the best of luck in your onward journey.

Great staff, definitely recommend. Psychiatry UK's system with the forms can sometimes be quite confusing, but all of my questions were helpfully answered.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is really helpful for us to hear about patient experiences, good or bad, so we can make sure we address any problems quickly or make changes to our processes if needed. You have mentioned that you struggled with our online forms, and we know that this is an area that some of our patients find confusing. Our Patient Advocacy Team is working on improving the accessibility of our forms, and the first stage of this project actually went live last week. We are hoping this will make the process much easier for patients. We are pleased to hear, however, that overall your experience has been positive and that you feel all your questions have been answered. Thank you for recommending our service to others.

Psychiatry UK took a little while to reply to messages in the online portal sometimes, but the actual assessment was very good. Elena and Steve made me feel really comfortable the entire time, and explained everything clearly and walked me through the next steps afterwards! They were both really friendly and patient and made the assessment not feel intense or scary at all.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that we were a little slow to reply to messages on the portal at times. We have recently experienced another influx of demand for our services, but we are doing everything we can to bring our response times back down. We are pleased, however, that you felt comfortable and relaxed during your assessment, and have a clear plan of what you need to do next. We wish you the best of luck in your onward journey, and I will pass on your feedback to Elena and Steve.

I had been on the NHS waiting list for 2.5 years for an ADHD assessment when a friend had recommended psychiatry UK through right to choose. I was seen within 6 months for an ADHD assessment and the team have been wonderful.

The service has been incredible from start to finish. I had a wonderful psychiatrist and wonderful nurse. I felt listened to and valued. I was worried about somethings, especially taking to long to respond to messages as it's a big part of my ADHD but everyone was so patient and understanding. I can't thank them all enough.

The process with Psychiatry UK was extremely smooth and a great experience. There was a long waiting list, but far far shorter than waiting for the default NHS service. They kept in touch with me and the online portal was very useful. I started titration for medication 6 months after diagnosis. My prescribing nurse was extremely friendly and patient and helped me try a variety of doses to find the right medication for me. It was easy to access the online system and keep in touch, order new prescriptions (which were delivered directly to home!) and they provided a blood pressure machine to check my blood pressure at home. My nurse was really patient with me when I was struggling to respond in good time due to physical health issues I was going through at the same time. I would highly recommend using the right to choose legislation to go through Psychiatry UK.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for leaving such a positive and detailed review. I know this will be useful to others who are researching our service. As an online company, it is always important to hear that patients have found using our portal straightforward and our staff easy to contact, and it sounds as though you found this especially beneficial when working with your titration prescriber to find the right medication. You have mentioned our wait times, and we know that some people are having to wait longer than we would like, due to the popularity of our services. But we are glad to hear that we were able to provide an assessment faster than would have been possible if you had gone your local service route. Thank you for recommending Psychiatry-UK.

I asked to be referred to PsychiatryUK through the Right To Choose pathway, as there isn’t a department in my area that deals with adult ADHD anymore. Obviously it’s a very different experience having care delivered online, but it actually worked really well. It has been very thorough, and being able to communicate with my prescriber throughout titration helped immeasurably.
