Dr Jack Parker was invited to attend the annual Meeting of Minds VI conference hosted by Shire and the ADHD Educational InstituteInternational Scientific Committee.
ADHD is a diverse and multifaceted condition with patients
presenting with different needs and treatment goals that require an
individualised approach to management if outcomes are to be optimised. The
theme for the meeting was "ADHD
assessment and management: balancing complexity and simplicity.”
The aim was to bring together experts and leading clinicians
in the field of ADHD from over 20 countries to explore how we can further
individualise and up-skill our management of ADHD in everyday clinical
practice.
The eminent international faculty which included Prof Sir MichaelRutter presented some of the latest
data, share their thoughts on ‘best practice’ and discussed ways to optimise
treatment; from getting the basics right, through to dealing with more complex
cases which delve into co-occurring conditions.
The scientific programme was built on a mix of key note
lectures and interactive workshops which were designed to enable attendees to
have plenty of time to engage with the faculty and peers across the 2 days.
There was a special focus on the development of practical skills relating to
the assessment and treatment of ADHD and a poster exhibition and time for
networking.
