Psicon
& the NHS
Our specialist team of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, specialist nurses, occupational and speech and language therapists have many years’ experience of working with NHS Trusts and commissioners since 2014. We make sure that every child and adult referred to us receives a NICE compliant and high-quality assessment quickly and seamlessly.


What we do
How we can help
We know that NHS Trusts up and down the country are often faced with high demand for neurodevelopmental assessments and, as a result, struggle with long waiting lists. This can be hard to accommodate within an existing system, as neurodevelopmental assessments are typically managed alongside complex services such as child and adolescent mental health or paediatric health.
Psicon can support Trusts with waiting list initiatives, helping to free-up resources and capacity while enabling patients to access high-quality, NICE compliant neurodevelopmental assessments. This means shorter waiting times than would otherwise be the case.
With years of experience in working with Trusts and ICBs, we can share our learning and help with all aspects of the initiative: from developing a service specification, to data sharing assurances and contracting, through to mobilisation, delivery and exit planning. We can help with caseloads from 50 to 1500 and beyond.
