Shown by all the scientists on the NHS England ADHD Taskforce-why is this debate not shifting to implementing transformations suggested? Good chat with Minister Ahmed-really hope there is constructive and evidence-informed action @zubirahmed.bsky.social @england.nhs.uk @wesstreeting.bsky.social

Attending @wolfsoncentre.bsky.social's young people's mental health summer school. Interesting talk from Prof Stephan Collishaw. Key take aways: there really is a worrying increase in prevalence of MH problems in young people (not just a reporting issue) and outcomes are getting worse.

Population prevalence rates of youth mental health problems rose across all nations after covid. Super work done on time trends by multiple scientists Ford, Collishaw etc. Time to address support and recovery-the focus of the rest of Europe. @tamsinford.bsky.social @wolfsoncentre.bsky.social

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A thorough examination of ADHD prevalence by the evidence group of the @england.nhs.uk ADHD Taskforce-UK scientists showed that ADHD is under-diagnosed and under-treated in the UK. @tamsinford.bsky.social @wolfsoncentre.bsky.social

Back on Bluesky after pause for 18 months whilst Chairing ADHD Taskforce

Back on Bluesky as finished Chairing ADHD Taskforce now

I'm temporarily suspending my account so as not to confuse my academic clinician role with ADHD Taskforce Activities.

Moved over to Bluesky today finally. We will work on getting the Wolfson Centre moved over. And keen to follow those I was following before. Business as usual-research, clinical topics, neurodivergence policy in Wales, and now ADHD Taskforce in England.
