Putting the pieces together: ADHD education and awareness in Primary Care

This hub collates key educational resources to address this critical gap in Primary Care and to help you learn practical strategies to recognise ADHD in practice, and to optimise its management post-diagnosis.

ADHD – post-diagnosis

ADHD post-diagnosis (ADHD-PD) is a set of three concise educational modules developed in collaboration with UK clinicians. Designed for healthcare professionals in Primary Care, it provides practical insights and aims to build confidence in supporting patients after an ADHD diagnosis. Covering key topics such as medication reviews and shared care, ADHD-PD provides practical guidance intended to support GPs in feeling more confident and prepared for ongoing ADHD care.

Led by expert clinician Dr Peter Mason, this module uncovers common myths about ADHD and explores the serious consequences it can have for patients and society, with case examples centered around Primary Care.

Pharmacological management of ADHD in Primary Care

This module outlines key considerations in the pharmacological management of ADHD, including what Primary Care clinicians need to know about prescribed medications, practical insights on treatment reviews, and approaches relevant to Primary Care.

Best practice shared care

Now putting all the pieces together, this module discusses shared care, approaches to reviewing these agreements and monitoring patients in your care.
