NHS England has released new guidance on ADHD service delivery and prioritisation. The advisory note outlines key factors for systems to consider when managing increasing demand for ADHD assessment and support.
With referrals and waiting lists continuing to rise, the document encourages a balanced approach that prioritises those most in need, promotes consistent pathways and supports staff to deliver safe, effective and timely care.
The guidance also recognises the importance of joined up working across primary care, mental health and education settings to provide holistic support for individuals and families.
