Listen "Breaking the Bottleneck: Analysing The ADHD Taskforce Report and Rethinking ADHD Support"

Episode Synopsis


In this powerful episode, Franck and Liz deep dive into the Independent ADHD Taskforce Report: Part One commissioned by NHS England in 2024 and released in June 2025 - focusing on the emotional reality behind the policy.
They explore what it means to live in a two-tier healthcare system, where access to support is often dictated by postcode, income, and crisis-point criteria.
From cross-agency data failures to the absence of AI innovation, the report’s recommendations offer hope - but also highlight just how far we have to go.
 Expect honest conversation around:

The injustice of diagnostic access
Why being a homeowner shouldn’t disqualify you from help
The emotional toll of working in ADHD support
How to balance passion with protection of your energy
And the dream of a single, accessible front door to services

This isn’t just policy talk. It’s personal, political, and full of heart.
