Solution? Close Down the Clinic. Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:01:03 +0000 http://adultaddstrengths.com/2007/01/30/adults-with-adhd-abandoned-as-clinic-closes-doors/#comment-165985 [...] I’ve blogged about this before, BC Adults with ADHD Abandoned, and you can watch my Global TV interview on the closure of the only adult ADHD clinic in the entire province at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Despite a year-long waiting list for an entire year, budgetary restraints have forced BC’s principal diagnostic and treatment centre to bar further referrals of adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, while they do a “review” of the program with no target completion date [...] [...] I’ve blogged about this before, BC Adults with ADHD Abandoned, and you can watch my Global TV interview on the closure of the only adult ADHD clinic in the entire province at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

They will do a “review” of the ADHD clinic with no deadline. If you’re lucky enought to be on the current wait list you will eventually be seen, if not tough luck. Global did a good job of telling a complex story in 2 minutes. Too bad they didn’t mention the Vancouver Adult ADD support group under which the press release went out but it’s nice to have it play on Global News 3 times, the 6pm, 11pm and 6am shows. Thanks to Barrie for creating the press release and media strategy and Patrick for suggestions on some specific local media contacts. [...] [...] Here’s the video of the Global TV interview I did on the BC ADHD Clinic’s decision to close their doors to new patient wanting to get diagnosed for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder.
