ADHD – Online adult screening tool
As the awareness of ADHD grows, it is important that the access to appropriate screening and assessment is available. The think ADHD screening tool is now free and available to be used for patients to provide comprehensive information about their symptoms and history. This has been created by an NHS GP in order to improve the referral and assessment process in primary care. Using this tool will enable GPs to make better quality referrals and reduce the rate of rejection due to missing information. For more information please visit www.thinkADHD.co.uk
