Learn about ADHD and the distinct ways women experience it from leading experts in the field at this ground-breaking conference.

Research shows that in childhood, boys are diagnosed with ADHD approximately 3-4 times more often than girls. However, by adulthood the ratio evens out to nearly 1:1, as many girls are overlooked early and only diagnosed later in life.

While the NHS and other support systems are unable to cope with increased diagnoses, The ADHD & Women Summit aims to increase awareness and knowledge on the specific issues women face with ADHD.

By attending this event you’re joining a supportive community of peers. You’ll engage with leading ADHD experts, gain clarity on your own experience, and find answers you may have been seeking.
