Dr Scott gathers information in advance (questionnaires and reports) which I analyse prior to the consultation. I then meet with you online for discussion and feedback at the end of which I will provide my initial clinical opinion, strategies and my report which will summarise my findings. This will enable me to work out what assessment, including face to face assessment may be required.
