I needed help and was treated with kindness and patience by ALL staff related to this service. After a very long process, I have been made aware of my condition and been given lots of resources to make my life easier while I wait for further treatment. I have been kept up to date and been informed of everything I need to know at any given time. I will be eternally grateful to everyone here that's helped me!

We used the ADHD tritiation service for our 11 year old child due to the lengthy wait on the NHS. Our prescriber Sally was great, very helpful, knowledgeable , supportive and always seemed available responding promptly to any queries. I would recommend Psychiatry UK from the outset , our son has received excellent care via customer services, the DR and prescriber. Thank you.

The time from my diagnosis to prescription was held up by the local health trust and a wait for a cardiac report. Without this delay the entire process would have been much quicker. The support from my prescriber was great, having not worked so remotely with a healthcare professional before I found myself very quickly trusting the process within the Titration process. Very fast, informative and kind responses to my queries and requests.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience with our service. Despite a delay in the completion of medical tests at the beginning of your titration, it is good to hear that the rest of the process ran smoothly. As an online provider, it is always particularly helpful to hear that patients have found communications via our portal to be informative, responsive and supportive. Thank you for recommending our service and we wish you the best of luck in your onward journey.

Really really super. My prescriber Mike was AMAZING, cannot stress enough. Every thing I asked was answered, he was incredibly friendly, and I felt able to tell him anything. It can take a while to get the assessment and then to get the medication after it, getting the medication probably takes longer than getting the appointment TBH, but once the ball is rolling it rolls excellently - if that analogy makes any sort of sense. My psychiatrist was very careful, it wasn't a tick box thing or any nonsense, it was a full medical history based, incredibly in depth diagnosis, and it's so reassuring to know it was so strict and thorough. If I have to find a criticism, it is just maybe the waiting times, but compared to normal NHS ones they're very very good and they keep you updated. In short, highly recommend. I'm not private, I didn't pay anything, but it felt like I did!

Thank you for your wonderful review! All our teams really do strive to make the journey through P-UK as smooth and responsive as possible, and it is always extremely rewarding to read that patients have found our service professional and thorough. You have mentioned waiting times, and we know that some of our patients are waiting longer for treatment than we would like, due to the popularity of our service. Nevertheless, as an online company, we are usually able to treat patients faster than through local NHS routes as you have noted - and we continually work to reduce wait times through ongoing recruitment and regular audits to identify new ways to streamline our processes. We are pleased that you are confident to recommend our service to others and I will pass on your positive feedback to your prescriber.

The only thing that let the experience down was the quality of the internet connection and as it has become more and more popular the waiting times have increased, but I wasnt left without medication.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear that your overall experience has been positive, although we have noted that you struggled a little with our online service. You have mentioned that our waiting times have increased, and we know that some of our patients are having to wait longer for treatment than we would like. However, we are continually working to try to reduce our wait times through an ongoing recruitment programme and regular audits to try to identify areas where we could streamline processes. As an online company, we are nevertheless usually able to treat patients faster than through local NHS routes. It sounds as though you are now settled on a medication that is right for you, and we wish you the best of luck in your onward journey.

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

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.

Response from Psychiatry-UK

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.
