ADHD in Women: A Full-Day Masterclass

Service Description

This full-day masterclass explores the complex and often overlooked intersection between ADHD and women’s health across the entire female lifespan. Designed for clinicians and professionals with an interest in neurodevelopmental and women’s health, the course brings together leading experts to examine how ADHD interacts with hormonal, physiological and psychosocial factors from puberty through pregnancy, menopause and beyond. While menopause is an important focus, the course goes well beyond midlife, addressing how fluctuating sex hormones influence attention, emotional regulation, cognition and mental health at key stages including menarche, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause, alongside implications for assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The day combines evidence-based teaching with real-world clinical insight, interactive breakout sessions and expert-led discussion, allowing participants to explore real-life clinical challenges and cases from their own practice in a supportive learning environment. The programme also includes focused specialist talks and a closing panel discussion on how services for women with ADHD can evolve to better meet clinical need. By the end of the day, participants will leave with practical, clinically relevant insights, increased confidence in managing complexity and a more nuanced framework for supporting women with ADHD at every stage of life.
