PATHWAY • SGUK-004 • Assessment Streamlining

Same staff.
40% more children
assessed per year.

The assessment backlog is not purely a headcount problem. Up to 50% of clinical time in first appointments is spent gathering information that could have been collected before referral. PATHWAY solves the process.

How it works

Four phases that transform
how assessment works.

PATHWAY is not a replacement for clinical assessment. It is the infrastructure around assessment — before, during and after — that removes every process inefficiency.

Phase 01 • Before
Pre-Assessment Package
Before the child is seen, PATHWAY collects everything the assessor needs — from the family, the school and the child themselves.
Parent questionnaire — standardised
Teacher structured observation
Child self-report (age-appropriate)
Prior reports AI-summarised
Phase 02 • Before
Screening Tools
Digital screeners auto-scored before the first appointment. Red flags highlighted before the assessor sees the child.
SDQ — auto-scored with bands
SNAP-IV ADHD screening
Social Communication Questionnaire
Sensory profile pre-screener
Phase 03 • After
Assessment to Report
Clinical notes feed directly into the report generator. First draft in 30 minutes. Professional reviews, edits and signs off.
Profession-specific templates (EP/OT/SALT)
AI draft from clinical notes
EHCP advice format auto-applied
Direct export to EHCPRO
Phase 04 • Optional
Capacity Matching
NHS and private capacity side by side. LA funding request generated automatically when NHS wait is unacceptable.

The impact

18 months to 9 months.
Same clinicians.

The assessment backlog is assumed to be a staffing problem. It is not — or not entirely. PATHWAY gives existing staff more capacity without adding a single hire.

❌ Without PATHWAY — current reality
CAMHS Assessment18–24 months
Educational Psychology6–12 months
Occupational Therapy12–18 months
Speech & Language6–12 months
First appointment: assessor asks questions a questionnaire could have answered. History-taking takes 45 minutes. Clinical time wasted. Child still waits another month for actual assessment.
✓ With PATHWAY — process transformed
CAMHS Assessment9–12 months
Educational Psychology3–6 months
Occupational Therapy6–9 months
Speech & Language3–6 months
Assessor arrives with a complete pre-assessment package. First appointment is the clinical assessment. Same number of clinicians. 40% more children assessed per year.
