Personal Assistant Network

The personal assistant network offers an opportunity for peer support and collaboration. It’s a space where you can connect with others, share your experiences, celebrate your successes, and seek support with your challenges.

In this session, we will be taking the opportunity to learn from others, offering a facilitated conversation where each PA can share their experience and expertise. Often, PAs are working alone - this is an inclusive space where participants can make meaningful connections and support each other.

The words PAs used to describe the last network session include engaging, insightful, and informative.

What is going to happen at my assessment? Where do I go? What if I can't make it to the venue of the assessment? Can the assessor come to me? What do I need to bring with me? Can I record my assessment?

If you have ever asked yourself one of these questions, don't worry; you're not alone! We are inundated each week with claimants who are worried about their assessment, and the first bit of advice is to ensure you are prepared - ensure you know what to expect.
