CoP for Professional Members

Register for June 2024 CoP Apply for Professional Membership

ADHD WA Professional Members are invited to a quarterly Communities of Practice (CoP) events which provide an opportunity to network, share, learn and build collective knowledge amongst peers working within the ADHD field.

At our CoP events, members can engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and explore best practices in the realm of ADHD. The diverse range of perspectives and expertise within the group creates a dynamic environment where professionals can gain valuable insights, discover innovative approaches, and establish connections with peers who share a common dedication to enhancing the understanding and support for individuals with ADHD.

We look forward to the active involvement of our Professional Members in these enriching and collaborative Communities of Practice events. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those with ADHD and contribute to the advancement of our collective knowledge in the field.

Dr Roger Paterson

Chair of the Professional Advisory Body

I provide assessment and treatment of ADHD in teenagers and adults, starting at about 16 and continuing into later life as needs be. I am in full-time private practice in Nedlands. My focus is on medication treatment and I liaise closely with colleagues who provide the essential aspects of a multimodal treatment approach e.g. psychologists and coaches.

I have over 30 years experience treating ADHD, as well as being involved in published research, and supporting community and professional ADHD groups. Specifically, I’ve been on the Professional Advisory Body of ADHD WA since 1994 and on the management Board since 2017.
