Event details

Abstract

NHS England have ambitious plans for digital transformation, the strategy aims to digitise services, connect them to support integration and, through these foundations, enable service transformation. However, how do we develop digital interventions for mental health services in general and ADHD specifically that fit into these ambitious aims. Using data and examples from two large NIHR Programme grants  i) Optimising Parent Training in the Management of ADHD OPTIMA (https://optimastudy.co.uk/) and ii) Digital Sleep Interventions for ADHD DISCA (https://www.discasleep.org.uk/) this talk aims to explore how to optimise access to digital interventions, how to explore feasibility and acceptability and may even provide a taster of effectiveness.

Event: Monday 24th February 10:30- 11:30 Live at St Luke’s Campus, Baring Court room 112 or online via TEAMS Meeting ID: 348 361 005 70 Passcode: Cu2wC6nG
