Hi my name is lisa and i am a final year undergrad at cardiff university, am 23 and have taken a placement year...

i have seen an advertisement for a split AP post within adolescent services and specialist ADHD and it looks awesome!! just wondered if anybody works within this service and would have any ideas on what they are looking for and how i can make my application stand out( other than being an undergrad which means it probably stands out for the wrong reasons)

i recently went to an assistants affliates day for south wales because i am up at uni at the moment and found it really enjoyable so am really keen to come to one of your affliates day when i am closer back home( somerset).

anyway feel free to PM me or add me on msn

Hello Lise

I just asked a trainee clinical psych in my office who used to work in CAMHS with ADHD children, she suggested you look into this stuff:

group interventions for ADHD particularly parent training
systemic issues with ADHD
NICE guidance about ADHD
Sonuga-Barke's dual process model (ADHD)

These two references should be good when googled!!:
