#90 - NSW ADHD Prescribing Changes: Opportunity or Operational Headache?

The landscape of ADHD management in New South Wales has changed significantly, with expanded prescribing pathways giving General Practitioners a much greater role in the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of ADHD. But with increased scope comes increased responsibility, new workflows, and plenty of questions from both clinicians and practice teams. Let alone the patient base!

In this episode, Ami and Zac unpack the latest NSW ADHD prescribing reforms, explore the new GP pathways now available, and discuss the concerns being raised by GPs across the state about training, clinical responsibility and the practical realities of implementing these changes. 

They also focus on what practices can do behind the scenes to make these reforms successful, or not.
