How this fits in

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, with negative consequences for individuals and their communities. Research indicates a current failure of health care for people with ADHD in England, but previous recommendations to improve support for ADHD in primary care lack feasible and practical recommendations for healthcare professionals. This study highlights individual-, practice-, and system-level barriers to accessing support for ADHD via primary care, and provides suggestions for how to overcome these barriers from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Healthcare professionals and people with lived experience of ADHD provided data, which points to the standardisation of ADHD provision, providing additional information and support for clinicians, and better use of reasonable adjustments for patients with ADHD in general practice.
