Join Dr Anne Hannay and Dr Paula Heggarty for an insightful educational session on Childhood Neurodiversity, focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Asperger’s Syndrome in the GP setting.

This session will cover how to identify the clinical presentation of ASD in children, implement effective screening tools in general practice, and confidently diagnose ASD while distinguishing neurodiversity traits.

Additionally, we will explore best practices for making appropriate referrals to ensure comprehensive, patient-centered care. By attending, you will gain the knowledge and tools needed to better support neurodivergent children, enabling timely diagnosis and intervention.
