This topic is supported with an unrestricted educational grant from Janssen-Cilag
Focusing on our understanding of ADHD, this session looks at the recent advances and controversies that continue to surround this disorder. This session covers three main areas. First, the speaker summarises our understanding of the causes of ADHD. Second, the speaker outlines the current recommendations for improving the identification, assessment, and management of children with ADHD. Finally, the speaker will discuss the application of evidence based treatment guidelines in routine clinical practice. Dr David Coghill

Providing a synopsis of evidence based guidelines in clinical practice, the speaker discusses the role of the RCPCH in appraising and endorsing well produced guidelines. The speaker then uses some recently published evidence based guidelines to examine the main messages for paediatricians. This includes a review of guidelines on the investigation and management of children presenting with reduced consciousness. The session also looks at new NICE guidelines on the management of tuberculosis in adults and children, focusing on the main messages relating to children. Dr Harry Baumer
