Neurodiverse Nurse

Comprehensive ADHD assessments for adults are the main service at Neurodiverse Nurse, for adults seeking assessment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The service is focused solely on adult ADHD and is based in Urmston, with the practice stating that it supports adults across the UK.

Care includes adult ADHD assessment using evidence-based tools in line with national guidelines, personalised treatment plans where a diagnosis is made, and ongoing ADHD management and support. Treatment options named by the practice include medication initiation and titration, non-medical advice, lifestyle support, follow-up reviews, shared care pathways and signposting to resources.

The practice works with adult ADHD presentations including difficulties with attention, organisation, emotional regulation and impulsivity. It also refers to restlessness, mood swings, problems staying focused in meetings, missed appointments or deadlines, feeling overwhelmed by tasks, low self-esteem, financial difficulties, employment and relationship problems, anxiety, depression, substance misuse and burnout as issues that can be relevant in adults with unrecognised or unsupported ADHD.

Clinical care is carried out by a qualified Independent Nurse Prescriber and clinical ADHD specialist. The founder is also described as neurodivergent, and the practice says this lived experience informs its approach.

Neurodiverse Nurse states that it is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and a member of the Royal College of Nursing. It also states that, where appropriate, it works with the patient's GP through shared care pathways.
