Keynote Speakers

Phil Anderton will be attending our professionals conference

Phil Anderton – Founder of ADHD360

We’re excited to welcome Phil Anderton, founder of ADHD360 and one of the UK’s leading voices in ADHD services.

Phil has helped thousands of children, adults, and families through accessible diagnosis and tailored support. With a wealth of experience and a passion for changing how society understands ADHD, he brings both expertise and a down-to-earth approach that inspires audiences everywhere.

At our ADHD Jersey Conference, Phil will share his insights into the future of ADHD support – practical solutions, real-world experience, and a vision for a system that truly works for neurodivergent people.

Andrea Bilbow OBE – Founder of ADDISS

Few people have done more to transform the ADHD landscape than Andrea Bilbow OBE. As the founder of ADDISS, the UK’s national ADHD charity, Andrea has spent decades at the forefront of change influencing government policy, training professionals, and empowering families.

Her work has helped shift ADHD from being misunderstood and overlooked to being recognised as a serious condition that demands support, compassion, and innovation. Andrea brings not only expertise, but also a fierce commitment to breaking down barriers and ensuring every child and adult with ADHD has the chance to thrive.

For professionals, this is a rare opportunity to hear from someone whose impact has shaped practice across the UK. Andrea’s insight will challenge assumptions, deepen understanding, and inspire you to see what’s truly possible when we build systems that work for ADHD minds.

Dr Ulrich Müller-Sedgwick – Consultant Psychiatrist

We are privileged to welcome Dr Ulrich Müller-Sedgwick, a highly respected Consultant Psychiatrist whose work has been central to advancing ADHD understanding and treatment. With years of clinical experience supporting children, young people, and adults, Ulrich combines deep medical expertise with a compassionate, person-centred approach.

His research and practice focus on the realities of living with ADHD not just the diagnosis, but the impact on families, education, mental health, and wider society. He brings clarity to complex issues, bridging the gap between science and lived experience.

For professionals, Ulrich’s session offers a rare chance to hear from someone who is both a clinician and an advocate, committed to building systems that recognise the whole person. His insights will equip you with evidence-based knowledge, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of purpose in supporting ADHD across all sectors.

Dr Jane Sedgwick Müller – Educator, Researcher & ADHD Specialist

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Jane Sedgwick Müller, an educator and researcher whose passion lies in transforming how schools understand and support ADHD. With a career dedicated to bridging research and practice, Jane has worked closely with teachers, families, and young people to reframe ADHD — not as a deficit, but as a different way of thinking, learning, and thriving.

Her work highlights the strengths so often overlooked: creativity, problem-solving, energy, resilience, and out-of-the-box thinking. Jane shows how, with the right strategies in place, classrooms can become environments where ADHD students are not just managed but truly empowered.

For teachers and education professionals, Jane’s insights are both practical and inspiring. You’ll leave with strategies you can use straight away, and a renewed sense of what’s possible when we embrace ADHD as a unique and valuable way of being in the world.
