"I am Dr. Salah Basheer, an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Institute of Mental Health, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, with expertise in clinical practice within Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and a dedicated research focus on neurodevelopmental disorders."In my research, I concentrate on the biological dimensions of neurodevelopmental disorders, with the overarching goal of advancing clinical assessment and treatment. As an associate principal Investigator trainee in the SATURN (Stimulant Medication for ADHD and Tics - Understanding Response versus Non-stimulants) clinical trial, we focus on comparing modified-release methylphenidate, commonly prescribed for ADHD, with guanfacine extended-release, typically recommended for tics. "Additionally, I serve as the clinical lead in the QbTest Utility in Augmenting clinical Decision-Making in ADHD (QUAD-ADHD): A Mixed Methods Study, where our objective is to enhance the monitoring of medication outcomes in young individuals with ADHD by exploring the practical application of QbTest in routine clinical practice. Through these endeavors, I strive to contribute valuable insights to the field of child and adolescent psychiatry, ultimately benefitting the lives of those affected by neurodevelopmental disorders."
