Assessment tools in practice and NICE guidance NG87
In this module we explore NICE Guidance NG87 on the recognition, referral, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. We look specifically at the tools used in the assessment process and choosing the right tools and screening tools for both adults and children.
We review the typical journey for a patient with ADHD from referral to diagnosis.
We consider the red flags of ADHD, or when we should and should not assess a patient and what advice and guidance can support our decisions in everyday practice.
