More and more Parents are presenting to General Practice with their children asking for a referral because they think their child has ADHD and/or autism.
Many parents say that they have realised that they may also be neurodiverse after reading up on the topic and being told that it can run in families. We are therefore making more referrals to the Adult ADHD and Autism services as well for formal diagnosis.
There are long waiting times for children and adults to get a diagnosis on the NHS.
So, what can we do to support our patients while they are waiting? To answer this question and others, I will be co-delivering this training session with Nora Young, a person with lived experience, ex-teacher and cofounder of Birmingham Resilience, Education and Well-being Services (BREWS CIC).
Together, we will cover the following Learning Outcomes:
Dr Yasmin Husain Yasmin has been practicing as a GP for 28 years. She currently does one clinical session a week in a Practice in Birmingham. She started her career in safeguarding in 2014 as a “Safeguarding Champion” for Birmingham Cross City CCG. She has been a named GP For NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB Safeguarding team since 2018 and does 5.5 sessions a week. As part of this role, she has responsibility for the Learning and Development programme in Birmingham and Solihull and has therefore been very active in providing training for all General Practice Staff- clinical and non- clinical. She designs bespoke presentations depending on the audience and their safeguarding learning requirements. She is also a Clinical Educator for the IRISi Domestic abuse programme, which is a collaboration between Primary Care and local Domestic Abuse services across England, and a trainer for Prevent (radicalisation).
