Links to other websites In this section, you can find useful weblinks. ADHD has a high profile in the media and there is an enormous amount of information about it on the Internet. While much of this is helpful, users should be aware that its accuracy and authenticity cannot be guaranteed, and some information may be out of date. Useful web sites include: NHS Direct (www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk) includes downloadable information about ADHD and a short list of support groups. www.surreycc.gov.uk/surreyparenting - Surrey Parenting Education and Support (SPES) provides support for mums, dads and those in a parenting role such as carers, step-parents, foster-parents and grandparents, throughout Surrey. It encourages parents to enjoy bringing up children and young people and get the best out of family life. www.adders.org This offers a broad range of information about ADHD and includes addresses for local support groups and chat room facilities for adults and children. The web sites of medical organisations may also offer information for parents/carers that can be downloaded; one example is the Royal College of Psychiatrists at www.rcpsych.ac.uk. The web site of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence has a public domain; this includes a summary of its guidance on the treatment of ADHD with methylphenidate and very comprehensive document on diagnosis and treatment of ADHD (www.nice.org.uk). www.adhddorset.btik.com www.additudemag.com - Web based parent information on ADHD.
