Expanded access legislation for ADHD is expected to take effect from 1 February, and many of you are now completing the required education and starting to plan how services will work in your practice.
To support this, Dr Jo Scott-Jones and Dr Robin Baird are hosting two online hui on Thursday 18 December for GPs and NPs in the Pinnacle network who are considering offering ADHD services next year.
Our goal is to canvas interest in starting a peer group of providers who are developing these service to discuss common issues and cases, and provide each other with support and advice. As a further outcome we may want to use this group to develop education opportunities and quality improvement plans that support excellence in ADHD care and services.
Both hui will cover the same content; we're offering two sessions to suit most schedules.
