Description

In this episode, we talk to Becky Gudka, a Graduate Research Assistant based at the University of Exeter, about a study she’s published here in the BJGP titled, ‘Primary care provision for young people with ADHD: A multi-perspective qualitative study’. We’re also joined by her study co-author, Dr Anna Price, a Senior Research Fellow also at the University of Exeter who is the study principle investigator and senior author who led this research. Title of paper: Primary care provision for young people with ADHD: A multi-perspective qualitative studyAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0626Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, with negative consequences for individuals and their communities. Research indicates a current “failure of healthcare” for people with ADHD in England, but previous recommendations to improve support for ADHD in primary care lack feasible and practical recommendations for health professionals. This study highlights individual-, practice- and system-level barriers to accessing support for ADHD via primary care and provides suggestions for how to overcome these barriers from the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Health professionals and people with lived experience provided data which points to the standardisation of ADHD provision, providing additional information and support for clinicians, and better utilisation of reasonable adjustments for patients with ADHD in general practice.
