Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Health and Social Care Overview

ADHD is a widely misunderstood neurodevelopmental condition that can present differently across age groups and genders. This course explores the realities behind diagnosis, the challenges individuals living with ADHD may face, and how to offer informed, compassionate support in care environments.

Across three concise units, learners will examine what ADHD is, how it is diagnosed, and how it commonly presents, particularly in adults, women, and girls, who are often underdiagnosed. Our course also covers treatment options, lifestyle considerations, and practical ways to support individuals within care settings. CPD-certified and suitable for anyone in a support or care role, the course can be completed entirely online at your own pace and includes a final knowledge check to reinforce learning.
