ADHD is often a life-long condition, but many people affected by it are coping well and living good lives. This conference will bring together several ways of thinking and acting to make more people able to achieve their hopes. One promising strand should come from the development of guidelines for ADHD from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). Each NHS provider trust should be setting up planning groups for improving recognition and treatment , and the development of health service resources for adults should be given a strong encouragement. ADDISS affiliate groups are excellently placed to help and advise on the implementation, and the conference will emphasise some ways of getting good practice established Positive progress depends on service users, families, practitioners and researchers working together; and the varied perspectives in this conference will help them to find common ground.
