For referring clinicians

A referral pathway built for clinical teams.

PECS works alongside paediatricians, psychiatrists, GPs, schools and allied health professionals. A PECS assessment delivered before a specialist appointment ensures the specialist has comprehensive assessment data at the first consultation.

Fast turnaround

Appointments within 4 weeks and reports within 10 working days, so your patient arrives at their specialist appointment with comprehensive assessment data.

Comprehensive reports

Detailed written reports with cognitive profiles, standardised measures, diagnostic considerations and specific, actionable recommendations.
