ADHD clinic for adults

Summary

We heard from local residents who had used the ADHD service for adults.

Key learning points

• Is there a way of making it quicker for patients to have their medication reviewed by the Trust, if their GP is unable to do this?
• Patients were very willing to consider alternative models if this would help others (or themselves) to be seen more quickly.
• There was a suggestion that it would be helpful to access support and advice whilst waiting for assessment. This seems like a good idea as most people who are sent for assessment do end up with a diagnosis, but even if they do not, they could benefit from the learning around issues such as sleep hygiene.
