Working towards a diagnosis
In this module we explore the process of screening patients for ADHD both prior to referral and during the diagnostic process.
We review the screening tools used once you have accepted the patient referral. We look at how the tools best align with the diagnostic criteria and when to choose the right tool and how to use it.
We look at the introduction of diagnostic subtypes in ADHD and why they are useful in practice.
Finally you get the chance to see how a diagnostic score is categorised into a diagnostic subtype.
