Practical follow-up of stable paediatric ADHD patients
An interactive, case-based educational session designed to give GPs practical skills and ready-to-use tools for ADHD follow-up in primary care.
ADHD Shared Care Education for GPs
- Do you feel confident reviewing a child who has already been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?
- Are you comfortable renewing ADHD prescriptions for stable patients?
- Do you know what to ask at every follow-up visit?
- Are you confident monitoring medication effectiveness and side effects?
- Would you know how to manage common problems such as appetite changes, sleep difficulties, rebound symptoms, or reduced medication benefit?
- Do you know when to continue shared care and when to refer back to the paediatrician?
If you would like to build your confidence in paediatric ADHD follow-up, this session is for you.
Learning outcomes:
- apply a structured approach to ADHD follow-up consultations in primary care
- conduct comprehensive ADHD reviews, including assessment of symptom control, growth, blood pressure, and medication side effects
- identify and manage common clinical challenges encountered during ADHD follow-up care
- recognise red flags and determine when referral back to a paediatrician is appropriate
- implement practical documentation and follow-up strategies to support ongoing patient management.
