Mary Doherty Chris Hopson Psycho/Neuro Elite Dr K Wildschut🏌🏽♂️ NHS England Nuffield Trust BBC Radio 4 Today Totally agree. In our cohort of late diagnosed females being AuDHD is the norm & it would be much better for families AND long term budget if they were assessed together. Presumably this is what the Neurodivergent Conditions Screening Bill would aim for.
Mary Doherty Chris Hopson Psycho/Neuro Elite Dr K Wildschut🏌🏽♂️ NHS England Nuffield Trust BBC Radio 4 Today It should be fully bedded in to general psychiatric work too - diagnostic services for people who don’t need 2ry psych care but those that do should be diagnosed “in house”. This would have some impact on WL but also mean pts are assessed by people who know them well over time.
Mary Doherty Chris Hopson Psycho/Neuro Elite Dr K Wildschut🏌🏽♂️ NHS England Nuffield Trust BBC Radio 4 Today There is a lot of inefficiency and duplication with the same patients going through multiple pathways. We need to be moving towards holistic neurodevelopmental assessments.
Chris Hopson Psycho/Neuro Elite Dr K Wildschut🏌🏽♂️ NHS England Nuffield Trust BBC Radio 4 Today Wonderful to see focus on ADHD, but for max efficiency services need to be neurodevelopmental & transdiagnostic. Co-occurrence is norm, not exception. Makes no sense to have separate ADHD & autism pathways, never mind Tourette’s, dyspraxia, hypermobility. They’re all connected
