Event Information
What will this event cover?
This presentation will examine clinical scenarios wherein an established diagnosis of ADHD or autism is deemed incorrect by a subsequent assessing psychiatrist. It addresses the clinical governance challenges involved in formally overturning historical diagnoses within general psychiatric practice when inter-clinician disagreement occurs. The session outlines an objective framework for managing diagnostic reversals, communicating with patients, and safely overseeing the cessation of associated pharmacological treatments.
Key Learning Objectives
- To identify clinical indicators and discrepancies in patient histories that suggest an initial assessment of ADHD or autism was incorrect.
- To navigate the clinical governance and inter-professional complexities that arise when a reviewing clinician disputes an existing diagnosis
- To formulate a safe clinical pathway for diagnostic review
