Evaluation of the referral pathway to Irish specialist adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder services
The NCPAA has provided crucial services for adults with ADHD in Ireland. However, an increase in neurodiversity awareness and demand for services suggests that a range of referral pathways depending on complexity level may be required. Alternative models are proposed, which require allocation of resources and training through primary care, secondary mental health services and specialist teams.
