We're starting the new year by moving from discovery to delivery.
We're prototyping a guidance service for people navigating ADHD care and shaping a Service Standard.
Also changing how we share updates — monthly newsletter instead of weekly weeknotes.
Read our end-of-year reflection here.
What a start to the year! Yesterday's social was brilliant and the first time many of us met face-to-face.
Thank you to everyone who came and continues to be part of this community.
Lots in store for 2026 as we shift from discovery to delivery: guidance service and service standard.

@adhdpathfinding.org.uk end/start of year social. So lovely to see @sianmurrayhuynh.bsky.social, @pixlz.com, @priyanca.bsky.social, @zzgavin.bsky.social, @powlander.bsky.social, @johnjarcher.bsky.social and so many others! This is what it’s about: people. Thank you all for just being so amazing.
Over the last six months we’ve been in discovery.
We’ve listened, published in the open and convened across the system to understand how ADHD care actually works, and where it doesn’t.
This post looks back on that first phase, and why we’re now ready to move from discovery into delivery in 2026.

Weeknote 23 is live.
We’re shifting from discovery to delivery in 2026!
- A draft ADHD Service Standard
- A small guidance and navigation service
- Test-and-learn approaches in line with Taskforce recs
We’ll also be building design capability to support this work.
More on roles in the new year.
We’ve published our response to the ADHD Taskforce report.
One big win: it calls for a “single front door” for ADHD care, helping replace today’s fragmented pathways.
With a new review now underway, it’s vital this progress isn’t paused.
Test-and-learn pilots can move this forward safely.
Weeknote 22 is live.
We’ve closed our survey and shared topline insights.
Consistent patterns: fragile pathways, repeated assessments, long waits and a heavy emotional toll. More soon.
We also cover NHS England’s new ADHD payment consultation and the opportunities and risks it presents.
The ADHD Taskforce published its final report recently. The recommendations are strong, but delivery is still undefined.
Now that the Taskforce has disbanded, who takes this forward?
We’ve published our full analysis.
What’s solid, what’s missing, and why momentum can’t stall now.
Weeknote 21 is live!
This week we published our full response to the ADHD Taskforce Report: Clear recommendations but unclear ownership or next steps. Yet the Taskforce has disbanded and the government has announced another review.
We also did Q1 planning and started mapping our next phase.

This was such good fun. How I do love a good producty nerd out 🤓

ADHD Taskforce Part 2 has landed. Good recommendations (waiting times, higher NHS priority) but no clear ownership and accountability.
Also this week:
- Working on visual map of ADHD landscape
- Updated vision board live
- First team fika happened today!
Read it here.
The ADHD Taskforce report is finally out.
We called what it needed to contain a month ago: national standards, fair shared care, real ownership.
First look: some movement, still too many gaps.
Reports don’t fix systems. Continuity does.
Read the report here www.england.nhs.uk/publication/...
The ADHD Taskforce full report is expected to land today. We already covered what we expect to see in it and how we will benchmark.

@adhdpathfinding.org.uk planning with @sianmurrayhuynh.bsky.social, our service owner!
The final barrier from our ADHD Awareness Month campaign: lack of national ownership, accountability, and strategy.
Without this, barriers stay stuck locally.
Our blog post explains why national ownership is the only way to change the system.
Read it here.
Day 31: Lack of national ownership, accountability and strategy.
Day 30: Fear of stimulant medication.
Day 29: Costing blind spots in flexible dosing.
Day 28: Costs of untreated ADHD not captured.
Day 27: Locally commissioned services underfunded.
