Assessment Process

Assessments may be spread over multiple meetings and include discussions with child and adolescent psychiatrists.

Beyond Diagnosis

Following an ADHD diagnosis, families can access their dedicated ADHD Medication Service for titration and ongoing medication management. Once stabilised, children can be referred back to their GP through shared care agreements.
