Phil Anderton is the living embodiment of poacher turned gamekeeper. Having recognised, when serving as senior police officer, that people with untreated or poorly managed ADHD can have inappropriate social outcomes including falling into crime, and trying for many years as an expert in the subject to convince the NHS, both locally and nationally to do more to improve these outcomes, in 2019 he started ADHD 360 to do just that. Expecting to have a small organisation treating 2-30 patients with 3-4 staff, 360 now employs 200+ staff and in July of this year they assessed 1,512 new patients, a record and more than the whole of the NHS put together.
