As a consultant psychiatrist, I wanted to enhance my understanding of ADHD and improve my diagnostic skills. This course was thorough, covering the use of DIVA 5.0 and NICE guidelines, with practical applications in clinical practice. The mock assessments were incredibly useful, and the Q&A exam at the end left me feeling confident and well-prepared. The trainer was passionate, and the course was highly professional. I would recommend it to any mental health professional looking to improve their knowledge and practice in diagnosing ADHD

Dr Mahdi Boolaky
The course was appropriate for a broad range of professionals, and very thorough for understanding the application of the DIVA assessment in adults and young DIVA in children, and we had an opportunity to test our knowledge in application with a case which was beneficial. Great opportunity to learn from Dr Pav, in an inclusive environment that included people from a diverse professional background, and indeed learning from different perspectives was also hugely beneficial. Together, we can all make a difference to creating a neuroinclusive society.
Dr Lorna
The ADHD diagnostic training course was evidence-based information on ADHD. The trainer has included diagnosis, treatment options, and management strategies for children and adults. The training also consists of a thorough exploration of ADHD symptoms, comorbid conditions, and their impact on daily life. Practical tools, case studies, and examples were applied in real-world settings. The course has opened my appetite for further training in this area.
