Assessment Process

Assessments are carried out by the practice's consultant psychiatrists at the Edinburgh clinic. Appointment lengths and the specific diagnostic instruments used are not published — ask when you enquire.

Right to Choose Does Not Apply in Scotland

NHS Right to Choose is an England-only pathway, so a private assessment here is self-funded or covered by insurance. Independent healthcare in Scotland is regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) rather than the CQC — worth checking the practice's current HIS position directly.

One Important Limitation

The practice states clearly that it is not a crisis service and does not offer emergency mental health support. If you need urgent help, contact NHS 24 on 111 or your GP.
