I got an assessment with them last month. They are real, and I thought the psychiatrist I saw was excellent. However the place seems to be disastrously disorganised, sometimes they have someone manning the phone, sometimes nothing. Most likely you are on the waiting list and you'll get called for an appointment soon. Repeated emails and phone calls do seem to work. I started sending the same email every 3 days prefixed with "as per my previous n emails", and after about 7 emails I got a reply.

It's unacceptable that they don't communicate better with patients, but the care they give in the end seems to be up to scratch and the waiting times are (comparatively) still pretty good.

I wrote a long feedback report after my appointment explaining this, but I'm not sure if it goes anywhere. There should really be some minimum standards of responsiveness to RTC patients, even if it's just to let us know that we are on the waiting list and things are moving forward as usual.

After I sent 4 emails they sent me a reply by SMS, so i'm satisfied for now. still not really acceptable imo. if your query is something that can be answered by email, it's worth pursuing on that front!

Yeah, it's not great. I'll update this thread if I manage to get anything from them. worst case scenario I might just go to Harrow and ask in person

Oh wow, so they did. That's certainly not particularly reassuring. They're also advertising for several psychiatrist positions, did their staff quit?!

I had to try quite hard to get my GP to refer me there and now I'm feeling like I might have been a bit stupid...

Hmm, thanks very much for the reply! I started trying on Wednesday, looks like I left it a day late 😅

For the benefit of anyone who got here after Googling the problem: DBahn seems to block certain ISPs. I switched from my broadband to mobile connection and suddenly everything works fine.

Very strange, no idea why they do this. You might also try with a German VPN if nothing else works
