The Rum Warehouse in the renowned Titanic hotel, Liverpool was the stage for the ADHD Foundation’s 4th Annual Conference, entitled ‘New Directions in ADHD’. Over 700 delegates attended this annual event, held this year on 13th–14th October 2016. The conference theme of new directions in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was designed to explore innovative practice in education, health, and social care nationally, attracting multidisciplinary speakers covering topics as diverse as Dr Peter Mason’s discussion on ADHD in women to Liz Duncan’s exploration of practical strategies for collating evidence for referral to child and adolescent mental health services. This year, the ADHD Foundation collaborated with the UK ADHD Partnership, and several prominent members of UKAP delivered well received presentations at the conference.
