Transforming ADHD Diagnosis and Care: A GP's Journey and Innovations (it's just me today gang!)
In this episode, Dr. Chris shares his transformative journey after discovering his brother's missed ADHD diagnosis. As a General Practitioner in the Sutherland Shire, he created ADHD @ Your GP to address systemic issues in ADHD diagnosis and management. This was his project from the Future Leaders Program run by the RACGP. The project focuses on making ADHD care accessible, affordable, and effective within primary care settings. He discusses the streamlined processes, collaborative networks, and innovative tools developed, including an enhanced intake procedure and integrated care pathways. Dr. Chris highlights the importance of national consistency, training funding, and research to further improve ADHD management in general practice.
