All-Age ADHD and Autism Services
During September and October this year, people across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin were invited to share their views about ADHD and autism services to help shape improvements for children, young people, adults, and families.
We know that services are sometimes not as joined up as they could be and demand is increasing. Many people face long waits for assessments, experience inconsistent access to services, and are at increased risk of poor outcomes due to delays, especially during critical transition points in life.
This was an important opportunity to influence how services are designed, delivered and improved to better meet the needs of our communities. We want everyone to feel included and valued across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin
The feedback people shared will be used, along with data and insight already gathered by our health and care partners and patient experience team, to identify what is working well, what support is missing, and how we can make best use of the resources available to shape services that are more responsive, inclusive and person-centred.
We will keep this page up to date as the work progresses.
