ADHD Ready: Accelerating Skills for General Practice (In-person/Virtual)

ADHD care in Australia is undergoing significant transformation. With evolving prescribing frameworks and an expanding role for general practice, many GPs are adapting to new assessment and initiation pathways.

With this in mind, we are pleased to invite you to attend ADHD Ready: Accelerating Skills for General Practice, a hybrid educational meeting series designed to support GPs in the management of Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

During this session, Dr Christopher Soo will provide practical guidance on ADHD assessment in general practice, including the use of structured checklists, and key diagnostic considerations. The meeting will also cover initiation and titration of stimulant therapy, indicators for treatment adjustment, clear thresholds for reassessment or referral, and approaches to building shared‑care.

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting your ongoing clinical practice through this educational series.

Please note that local delegates will be able to attend in person, and a live‑stream of the meeting will be available for those who prefer to join virtually.
