As young people with ADHD move into adulthood, their needs can change- and support can too. This resource explores the challenges of transition, the importance of continuity of care, and considerations for helping patients stay on track during this key life stage.

Explore the differential diagnosis of adult ADHD and the comorbidities that commonly present alongside it. Dr. Mohamed Abdelghani shares practical considerations for recognising overlapping symptoms in clinical practice.

Why does ADHD matter in primary care? Dr. Peter Mason explains the real-world impact of under-recognised ADHD and why addressing it can improve outcomes for both the patient and the service provider.

A practical, primary-care guide to post-diagnostic ADHD management aligned to NICE guidance. Covers medication and non-medication options for adults and children, plus common concerns and side effects. Concludes with how shared care works in practice (monitoring in primary care with specialist review).

A concise, case-led overview of best-practice shared care for ADHD, focused on what “good” looks like in day-to-day primary care. Highlights why shared care matters, how it benefits patients and services, and how to manage common real-world problems.
