What Happens Next? Navigating ADHD Assessment, Medication and Beyond with Baiyina Sparrow

For many people, an ADHD diagnosis raises as many questions as it answers. This 60-minute session, delivered by a Registered Mental Health Nurse and accredited ADHD Coach with lived AuDHD experience, walks through what actually happens next.

We’ll cover the assessment pathway (NHS, Right to Choose, and private routes), what to expect during the process itself, how the medication and titration process typically works, and practical strategies for managing symptoms during the waiting period. We’ll also look at non-medical approaches with a genuine evidence base, such as coaching, movement, nutrition and routine, and how these can work alongside medication rather than instead of it.

The session combines a short presentation with an open Q&A, giving attendees space to ask the questions they haven’t had answered elsewhere. This session is educational and doesn’t replace individual clinical assessment or medical advice; it’s designed to help people feel more informed and prepared.

We receive no government funds. Fundraising is extremely difficult because of the economic climate and because of the discrimination and stigma that means many can’t be out and ask for fundraising sponsorship. That means any donation you give is extremely valued and is the only way we can do the work we do.

We ask for a donation regardless of size. Even 1p. With a suggested donation of £5.

If you are not in a position to donate then we still want to welcome you and have you attend. Simply put in the suggested donation and place the tickets in your basket, generate your coupon here, and use the coupon to 100% discount the basket.
