• #206 Pay Attention: To the ADHD Doctor with Dr Chris Soo

  Host Dr Rob Park sits down with Dr Chris Soo — a GP with a special interest in ADHD to explore a topic that is both highly important and topical right now, with Queensland moving to allow GPs to diagnose and prescribe ADHD medications for adults from Dec 1 2025, and other states expected to follow.  This is a light-hearted but deeply practical conversation that cuts through the noise: how ADHD really presents in day-to-day general practice, what to watch out for, how to start treatment safely, and why this emerging model of care is about to become core business for Australian GPs. If you want to stay ahead of the changes and feel confident supporting this rapidly growing patient group, this is an easy, engaging and very relevant listen.
