Neuropsychology results

Evening all.
Just a quick question, I had a neuropsychological assessment on 30th August this year i am still waiting to see a copy of the report. Is it normal for it to have taken so long?

That seems a long time. I’d chase it up.

There's certainly no harm in chasing it up.

In our case the neuropsychology assessment for my husband took place over several months, with regular interviews/assessments held roughly once a fortnight, rather than a single assessment.

We received the report fairly quickly (within a couple of weeks) after the final assessment/interview had been held.

My assessment was done in two 3 hour sessions. Thanks I'll chase it up it's just that my diagnosis is relying on this and they seem to be dragging their heels.

So I just chased it up and the report hasn't even been done yet. What can I do

Its probably worth changing although mine took a long time. It could be the pysch team have sent the report but the consultant hasn't decided any diagnosis yet

 

[tangled89]

Thanks John but it was the Psych department I spoke to the report hasn't been done yet. My consultant and i don't get along I wondered wether he was purposefully holding things up somehow, then I realised how paranoid that sounds. Damn dementia

Everything seems to take an age when you’re waiting! We had to wait a couple of months after M’s assessments till we got the consultants appointment. Now we are waiting for a copy of the report so I can send details to DVLA, although the consultant has confirmed early Alzheimer’s .
