Sheffield healthcare provider doubles size on back of demand for ADHD and autism support
A Sheffield healthcare provider specialising in neurodiversity, mental health and addiction has almost doubled in size during the last year as demand for ADHD and autism support continues to rise across the UK.
Montrose Health Group has reported a surge in demand following the launch of its dedicated ADHD and autism service and a major expansion of its clinical and operational team.
The business has recently doubled in size, opened an additional Sheffield clinic and operational hub, and recruited 15 new members of staff.
Montrose Health Group founder and CEO, Jonathan Edgeley, said the growth reflects a increasing pressure on the healthcare system and the need for a wider debate around the spiralling diagnoses of ADHD and autism.
He said: “Demand is increasing at a rate that existing support services simply aren’t keeping pace with. There is more awareness around ADHD and neurodiversity than ever before, which is positive, but awareness alone doesn’t equal access.
“People still face long waiting lists, inconsistent pathways and often mixed messages about where to turn.
“There’s also a real need to improve understanding and support in workplaces and help employers make right and reasonable adjustments for neurodiverse individuals.”
