Questions about ADHD? Ask the expert!

Join Professor Samuele Cortese and Dr Edoardo Ostinelli for an engaging ‘ask the expert’ event on Tuesday 18 March, from 7pm to 8pm. This is your chance to get your questions about ADHD answered by leading researchers in the field.

Dr Edoardo Ostinelli, Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist and Senior Researcher at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, has previously been supported by the NIHR ARC OxTV for his project "Using Adverse Events and Patient Preferences to Personalise Pharmacological Treatment for Depression." His expertise contributes to the ongoing effort to improve mental health care.

Professor Samuele Cortese is an NIHR Research Professor, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Southampton and Honorary Consultant for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

This event follows the recent publication of a key study co-authored by Professor Cortese and Dr Ostinelli, highlighting the most effective ADHD treatments for adults. Read more about their findings in this news story: New Study Reveals Most Effective ADHD Treatments for Adults .

Asking your questions will be Steve Bond, who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and is parent to a neurodivergent family. Steve has worked as a public contributor championing inclusive research and the benefits of community-led research, and he runs a video production company providing employment for disabled people.

Guests must sign up in advance using this form where they can enter their question. You will also be able to ask your question during the event in the text box provided.

Participating in health research helps develop new treatments, improve the NHS, public health and social care and save lives. The NHS, public health and social care supports research by giving patients opportunities to take part in trials. Healthy people can also take part so results can be compared to those with a medical condition. Patients are also encouraged to ask their doctor or health professional about research opportunities and to sign up to hear about current studies on the Be Part of Research website.
