The demand for Adult ADHD assessment continues to grow, alongside increasing expectations around quality, governance and clinical accountability. This two-day interactive training programme is designed to support healthcare professionals to develop a structured, defensible and clinically robust approach to Adult ADHD assessment.
Led by Consultant Nurse Kimberley Ashwin, the programme goes beyond diagnostic criteria and assessment tools to focus on the clinical thinking required to deliver high-quality assessments. Delegates will explore ADHD across the lifespan, differential diagnosis, formulation, risk assessment, clinical decision-making and report writing, whilst developing confidence in applying evidence-based frameworks within everyday practice.
This training combines theory, case studies, practical exercises and clinical discussion to support the translation of learning into real-world assessment practice.
