Neurodiversity Pathway Engagement Session

February 6 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

NHS Greater Manchester is implementing a transformation programme to create a new, needs-led model, focusing on early support prioritising those with the highest clinical need, and ensuring equitable access across all pathways, including Right to Choose. In line with this, they will be implementing redesigned pathways for the assessment and support of children, young people, and adults with ADHD and autism.

We, together with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), would like to inform parents and carers about these changes and to hear your thoughts and questions about these.

We would like to invite you to this engagement event, where Dr. Jo Bromley (Strategic Lead for Learning Disabilities and Autism, CAMHS) and Karen Woodhouse (Autism Navigator) will be on hand to speak with us about the new Neurodiversity Pathway and the needs-led model for ADHD and autism in Manchester and Greater Manchester.

Please join us to learn more about these changes and to share feedback & ideas on how we can make it better for our children and families.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
