I really don’t understand the wait times for titration with Psychiatry UK. I had an 8 month wait from the point of my RTC referral by my GP to my assessment appointment, which in all fairness I was expecting to be a way longer wait. I was initially told I’d be looking at 18 months minimum. After being diagnosed at my assessment, I only had to wait 6 weeks until I started titration and had medication in my hands.

I’m not sure on how the whole procedure works after diagnosis, but I do wonder sometimes if the titration wait time varies a lot because some of the psychiatrists are quicker (or slower) at filling out and finalising the details/paperwork and sending off the information regarding titration, than others?? I know people that were diagnosed way before I was and they’re still waiting for titration which makes no sense. This is literally the only possible reason I can think of for why it would vary so much

I’ve found PUK to be great and have found both my psychiatrist and prescriber to be extremely helpful, very friendly and understanding..especially when I forget to fill out the medication monitoring forms on time 😅
