ADHD and neurodiversity training for primary care teams
Practical training for GP practices, primary care networks and community teams on recognising, referring and supporting neurodivergent patients.
What this service involves
Training built for people working in real clinics under real time pressure. We cover what ADHD and autism actually look like when they present in primary care, why they are so frequently missed in women and in adults over thirty, how to distinguish them from depression, anxiety, perimenopause and thyroid dysfunction, and what can realistically be achieved in a ten minute appointment. We also cover the Right to Choose pathway in England, what a shared care agreement does and does not commit the practice to, controlled drug handling for stimulant medication, and how to respond when a patient arrives holding a private diagnosis the practice is uncertain about. Sessions are case led rather than slide led. We bring real presentations and work through them with your team.
Who this is for
GP practices, primary care networks, practice nurses, clinical pharmacists, mental health practitioners, social prescribers, and administrative teams handling these queries daily.
What you receive
A live session tailored to your team, case based discussion, a one page reference summary the team can keep, an open question and answer block, and email follow up for questions arising afterwards. Certificates of attendance available on request.
Format and duration
Sixty to ninety minutes, or a half day for larger teams. Remote or in person by arrangement. Protected learning time slots accommodated.
Booking for this service opens shortly. Enquiries welcome.
