Will I receive a report?

Yes. A detailed written report is provided following the assessment.

Can you prescribe medication?

Yes, where clinically appropriate. Ongoing monitoring is provided, and shared care with the GP may be arranged once treatment is stable.

Do you liaise with schools?

Yes, with consent. Information from school is often an important part of the assessment.
