Guidelines are not written in stone; clinical evidence accumulates and evidence-based practice recommendations are made. International and European guidelines for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hyperkinetic disorder (HKD) continue to be updated as new clinical data emerge. Updated recommendations are designed to improve the diagnosis and management of ADHD in clinical practice.
At Meeting of Minds X (Madrid, Spain, 17–18 April, 2018), a scientific forum initiated, organised and funded by Shire, now part of Takeda, a panel of eminent ADHD specialists (Professor Philip Asherson, Professor Patrick Bolton, Professor Tobias Banaschewski, Professor David Coghill, Professor David Daley, Dr Martin Gignac, Dr Bruno Nazar and Professor Luis Rohde) discussed clinical guidelines in detail during a discussion forum moderated by Dr Duncan Manders entitled “Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of ADHD in children, adolescents and adults: updates, similarities and differences”.
