In celebration of the 2nd European ADHD Awareness Week, patient advocacy group ADHS Deutschland and Shire Germany launched a pilot German Web chat programme. ADHS CHAT was a one-day, confidential online chat organised by ADHS Deutschland and Shire Germany and funded by Shire to provide families, patients and caregivers of patients with ADHD with the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about ADHD from experts in the field.
