Kelly Meakins

I have worked with children and young people with mental health difficulties, including ADHD, across various settings in South London and Maudsley since 2016.

Since working within the ADHD field, I have become particularly interested in how ADHD affects girls and their behaviours.

I often take part in personal development activities with ADHD 360s CPD training courses. This allows me to stay up to date with the latest advancements in ADHD and develop my skills.

My career highlight would be completing my Nurse Prescribing qualification. With this, I can effectively create treatment plans and therefore help people manage their ADHD well.

The best part of my job is helping young people to be better understood and do well in life. I am incredibly proud to be positively impacting lives and working for a company that allows for this.

Outside of work, I have many different hobbies. I enjoy cold water swimming, running, and yoga.
