Autism and ADHD assessments: the role of partnerships to reduce waiting lists

As part of our CHS Healthcare webinar series we had an important discussion about how partnerships can support Autism and ADHD assessments in helping reduce waiting lists. We were joined by Laura Watkins, CEO, The Donaldson Trust and Chris Beaumont, Children's Project Coordinator, The Brain Charity. The session was facilitated by Seb Stewart, Service Development Director, CHS Healthcare. The following discussion points were addressed: The need for public/ private partnerships of expertise across the system to increase capacity to meet the demand for ASD or ADHD assessments The role of remote assessments and how this can accelerate waiting times while maintaining quality and patient safety Urgency - without action the situation will not improve and people waiting will continue to suffer
