We’re excited to announce the launch of the ADHD transition pathway, designed to ensure smoother transitions to adult ADHD services. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about this important update.
Key Features:
- Referrals can now start at age 17 to ensure continuity of carer.
- Named contacts included on referral forms for clearer communication.
- Young people with ADHD will be transferred to Adult ADHD service if they continue to have significant ADHD symptoms or other coexisting conditions that require treatment.
- The transition will be planned in advance by both the referring and the receiving service, with the young person and, when appropriate, their parent/care involved in the transition planning.
