Raiys appoints clinical lead for neurodiversity

Digital health and wellbeing platform Raiys has appointed Anna Srireddy as clinical lead for neurodiversity, a newly created role supporting the expansion of the company’s neurodiversity services.

Based in Glasgow, Srireddy (pictured) has more than 20 years’ experience in mental health nursing, ADHD assessment and treatment, clinical governance, non-medical prescribing and multidisciplinary leadership roles across England and Scotland.

She joins Raiys following the launch of the company’s neurodiversity programme, which is designed to support individuals facing delays in accessing assessment and care services. The programme includes screening tools, behavioural support resources, wellbeing pathways and lived-experience content for individuals, families, employers and healthcare providers.

Working alongside Raiys medical director Dr Laura Coia, consultant clinical psychologist Dr Matt Wild and the company’s independent health advisory board, Srireddy will lead the development of its neurodiversity strategy. This will include specialist guidance covering ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and Tourette’s syndrome.

Raiys CEO James Murphy said: ‘Demand for neurodiversity services continues to increase at a pace that traditional systems are struggling to absorb.

‘Anna brings an exceptional combination of frontline experience, operational leadership and governance expertise that will be instrumental as we continue expanding our neurodiversity offering and investing further in clinically-led support.’

Srireddy said increasing demand for neurodiversity services across the UK highlighted the need for new approaches to care delivery.

‘The reality is that neurodiversity services are under extraordinary pressure,’ she said.

‘Traditional systems alone cannot sustainably absorb that level of demand without innovation in how support is delivered.’

She added: ‘Platforms such as Raiys can play an important role in extending assistance earlier and more consistently, while reducing pressure on overstretched systems.

‘What excites me about my new role is the opportunity to help build something clinically robust, scalable and genuinely person-centred – using digital healthcare not to replace clinicians but to improve access, strengthen engagement and provide more continuous support within existing services and care programmes.’
