ADHD and autism clinic workforce survey 2026

Understanding the workforce challenges facing UK clinics

 

As demand for ADHD and autism services continues to place pressure on clinical capacity, clinics must balance access to skilled professionals with operational efficiency, service quality and sustainable growth.

At Leaders in Care, our work across the neurodevelopmental sector gives us insight into the complexities of building and maintaining effective clinical teams. However, we recognise that workforce challenges extend beyond recruitment alone.

We're committed to understanding the wider pressures facing clinics and identifying opportunities to provide more meaningful, practical support.
