Transforming ADHD Diagnosis and Care: A GP's Journey and Innovations (it's just me today gang!)
In this episode, Dr. Chris shares his transformative journey after discovering his brother's missed ADHD diagnosis.

He discusses the streamlined processes, collaborative networks, and innovative tools developed, including an enhanced intake procedure and integrated care pathways. Dr. Chris highlights the importance of national consistency, training funding, and research to further improve ADHD management in general practice.
