GPs play a crucial role in the lifelong care of patients, including those with neurodivergent conditions. Neurodiversity is a common aspect of human variation, with over 15% of the UK population being neurodivergent. This conference aims to highlight that neurodiversity is everyone's business. Neurodivergence affects individuals of all ages and impacts both mental and physical health, influencing morbidity and mortality across all organ systems. Our goal is to provide insights into the challenges faced by the neurodivergent population in a predominantly neurotypical world and to equip GPs with practical strategies to improve health outcomes and access to care.
Topics include:
- Autism and AuDHD
- Gender differences with people who present as neurodivergent
- Nonpharmacological treatments and support for neurodivergent people
- Autism and pathological demand avoidance
- Tics and tourette’s
- Overlaps of neurodiversity with other conditions (e.g. obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma)
- Neurodevelopmental disorders in old age
Conference Chair:
- Dr Heidi Phillips MRCGP, Neurodevelopmental Specialist GP, RCGP Clinical Advisor for neurodiversity
