Implementing Adult ADHD Care in General Practice: Confidence, safety, and boundaries for GPs and Nurse Practitioners

$345.00

A 4-hour RNZCGP CME-accredited online workshop with Marcia Sasano & Kristy Haslam

ADHD care in New Zealand is changing. From February 2026, GPs and nurse practitioners are able to initiate ADHD treatment for adults.

This shift places general practice at the centre of assessment, initiation, monitoring, and coordination of care.

Many clinicians report uncertainty around scope, assessment standards, treatment initiation, and managing complexity within time-limited consultations.

This workshop supports GPs and Nurse Practitioners to confidently and safely implement adult ADHD care in general practice — aligned with theNew Zealand ADHD Clinical Principles Framework (2025).

Rather than specialist diagnostic training, this workshop focuses on practical implementation: translating clinical principles into structured, safe decision-making in everyday primary care.

Designed for clinicians who want to work with adult ADHD confidently, within scope, and without reducing care to medication alone.

What you’ll gain

  • A clear understanding of how adult ADHD commonly presents in general practice — including mood, anxiety, burnout, and repeated treatment “non-response”

  • A structured working-hypothesis approach to assessment that supports safety and scope

  • Practical principles for initiating multimodal ADHD care in primary care

  • Clarity around boundaries — what sits well within general practice and when to refer or engage shared care

  • Strategies for managing co-occurring complexity (trauma, sleep, substance use, psychosocial stress)

  • Confidence in using neuro-affirming, culturally safe language that supports engagement and dignity

  • Clearer collaboration between GPs, NPs, HIPs, psychologists, and specialist services

Workshop details

  • Format: 4 hours online, interactive

  • Accreditation: RNZCGP CME-accredited

  • Who it’s for:General Practitioners and Nurse Practitioners involved in adult ADHD care

  • Fee: $345 per person

  • Next Workshop: 17/03/2026
