Despite the impact of the pandemic on non-emergency services the three-year ADHD programme exceeded its targets and by June 2023 had benefited 65,000 young people. 

The new guide collates the critical success factors, focusing on five core areas that should be considered for any transformation programme to be successfully implemented and sustained. These are: 

• Understanding the context 
• Raising awareness 
• Building will 
• Supporting implementation 
• Changing behaviour. 

The guide can be adapted to any innovation programme – large or small – and includes example toolkits and resources for project leads.
