A complex, but enjoyable programme. This was more medical focussed on the diagnostic programme, which as a psychologist was less relevant to my day-to-day practice, but this was still very helpful.
Very useful course! Very welcoming for those of us that do not prescribe medication as well which was really lovely! I would like to know more pathways about potentially increasing skills to be able to go into ADHD coaching as this sounds very interesting also!
very insightful and useful
Dr Pav and Dr Kumar teaching program on management of ADHD has provided me with great insights and confidence in this subject area and this will help improve my clinical practice.

I have really enjoyed the course it was very informative
Very informative course. I did find the section on pharmacodynamics difficult to grasp and there was a lot of information about the actual medications for me to take in in the afternoon in such a short space of time. I started lagging toward the end. It would be useful if you could provide a chart that contains all the meds including what line, dose, side effects etc. Thank you
The teaching was very insightful
Great course - thank you for having me.
I found this course very useful in extending my knowledge, and hopefully helping towards me becoming an ADHD assessor

Management session even more enjoyable than diagnosis session!

You’ll also gain insights into the evolution of ADHD understanding and explore best practices through real-world scenarios.
