2008 ADHD NICE Guidelines: Making it Happen

9.30am to 4.00pm

In September the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) will publish the Guidance on the Diagnosis and Management of ADHD in Children, Adolescents and Adults. This conference will look at the social impact of ADHD if left untreated, and how the new guidance can help to improve the lives of people affected by ADHD. All agencies family members involved in the lives of young people will find this conference of interest as we share ideas of how to implement the guidance.

Professor Chris Hollis will give an ‘insiders’ perspective on the development of the 2008 NICE ADHD Guideline and review the key recommendations including assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Emphasis will be placed on new recommendations (not included in the 2006 NICE ADHD Technology Appraisal) and their practical clinical implications.
