The rates at which people have presented to services requesting formal assessment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other Neurodevelopmental Conditions has increased significantly in recent years necessitating a different model of service delivery. Referrals for ADHD are currently sent to one of two locality-based Community Mental Health Teams in Dundee (East and West). The demand/capacity issues in relation to ADHD and the impact of this in responding to other common clinical problems managed within CMHTs, has resulted in an Integrated Joint Board commissioned 18-month Test of Change situated within the CMHT focusing on the assessment and management of ADHD, including providing advice to other clinicians where this presents in the context of other neurodevelopmental or co‑m‑orb‑d Mental Health conditions.
