title: A nurse-led ADHD service for children and adolescents.
abstract: Evidence-based nursing guidelines were developed on the management and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Forth Valley. After an audit revealed that adherence to the guidelines was generally good, except in terms of providing individualised school-based programmes for children with ADHD, a service was developed to work closely with schools and families to improve this area of care.
