BOOKINGS

• Video and in-person assessments (mostly for ASD Assessments) are available on alternate Fridays. Please email pa-dr-sadiq@augmentive.io if you'd like an in person appointment and we will come back to you with the next available dates.

• Once you have booked and paid for your appointment we will send online questionnaires and PDF questionnaires for yourself and a parent/sibling/partner to complete - please consider this before choosing a date for assessment. Dr Sadiq requests that the forms are returned at least 48 hours before the appointment.

• The assessment cannot go ahead without the forms being completed and retuned 48 hours before. Dr Sadiq needs to review the forms before the assessment so he can do adequate diagnostic preparation before the appointment.

PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS AND MEDICATION

• Requesting a Repeat Prescription: please complete the following form here.

• Dr Sadiq requests prescriptions on a Saturday, so please ensure you leave enough time to send your request through.

• For Medication issues such as side effects or noticeable changes to how you are feeling, these emails can be marked as urgent and will be dealt with in 24 hours.

• If you are not able to wait and you feel your issue is urgent then please contact your GP, call 111, go to A&E or contact your local crisis team.

SHARED CARE AGREEMENTS WITH YOUR GP

• Prior to requesting a Shared Care Agreement letter from Dr Sadiq, please can you ensure that you have spoken to your GP about this and if possible, send confirmation from them in writing to pa-dr-sadiq@augmentive.io. Augmentive are aware that many GPs now have a policy to refuse Shared Care Agreements and we are unable to influence their decision. Our inclusion criteria as a Clinic states that our services "are for for patients for whom assessment and ongoing treatment is financially viable. Each patient would need to make an assessment of that themselves."

• Confirmation from your GP will be crucial to being able to initiate the Shared Care Agreement with them once you are titrated and stable on your medication. Dr Sadiq is not able to ask for the GP to take over prescribing for you until you are stable and have been for three months.
