This session builds directly on the new ADHD in Primary Care: A Practical Guide for GPs & Healthcare Professionals
Led by Dr Ra Noor and Dr Mukesh Kripalani, it offers a clear, evidence-informed framework to help clinicians determine whether a patient’s difficulties are truly driven by ADHD, by another condition, or by both.
