The LANC was established by Dr Geoff Kewley, Consultant Paediatrician in 1993.Ìý Having been a general paediatrician in Australia for 16 years and then in NHS as a general paediatrician for six years, he started this Centre out of concern at the lack of appropriate service provision in the UK at that time for the assessment and management of children with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties particularly ADHD.

More than 6000 children, adolescents and adults have been assessed and managed at the Centre over the last almost 20 years.Ìý Approximately 250 new patients from all over the country and overseas are assessed annually.Ìý Approximately 1600 patients are on our current long-term management programme.

The Centre has developed a national reputation for its ability to assess and manage children, adolescents and adults with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties.Ìý It has been seen as providing experienced and thorough assessments by its multidisciplinary Centre in a highly professional yet user friendly and supportive way.Ìý It is the only such Centre in the UK in the independent sector. Although the Centre frequently sees patients with more straightforward problems, its great strength is its expertise in the assessment and management of people with complex neurodevelopmental difficulties.
