This year the 2022 ISHA Educational Webinar and AGM is hosted by UCD Student Health Service. An in-person conference was in the planning by UCD Student Health team when the omicron variant was taking off in late December. The team decided to go the virtual route as they felt it was impossible to plan safely or make financial commitments on behalf of ISHA for February 18th, not knowing the trajectory of the omicron variant.
We have an excellent schedule for our webinar with presentations and expert opinions from some our leading voices in Student Health Care and in clinical care management within the context of Covid I9. This year we are also glad to bring a student perspective to the event. We hope that all our members will find the webinar interesting and supportive to their roles in providing excellent care to our student populations.
We are delighted that www.Consilienthealth.ie are our sponsor again this year and thank them for their continued support.

The assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults was prioritised by the Health Service Executive (HSE) Mental Health and Clinical Design and Innovation, in conjunction with the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland (COPI), for development as a Clinical Programme because of the absence of such services in Ireland.
