09:00 Arrival and refreshments
09:30 First Session: Deprivation of liberty in a hospital setting: MHA vs MCA
The interface between the Mental Health Act 1983 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005 has long been heralded as one of the most complex issues in this field. We will consider the key principles and latest case law to help practitioners navigate which framework to use to authorise a person’s deprivation of liberty in a hospital setting.
10:10 Second Session: Considering the use of restrictive practices: restraint and covert medication
Restrictive practices such as physical restraint, chemical sedation and covert medication interfere with fundamental human rights and freedoms; but sometimes it can be the case that such interventions are the least restrictive and least invasive management technique. What are the key steps for health and social care professionals to take?
10:50 Short comfort break
11:10 Third Session: What is treatment for mental disorder under the MHA?
The Mental Health Act 1983 provides a legal framework, with checks and balances, for the provision of treatment for mental disorder. But what amounts to treatment for mental disorder? And how do you provide treatment that’s not for mental disorder for a detained patient?
11:50 Fourth Session: Complex conveyances: legal and practical considerations
Here we will consider which legal frameworks can authorise the conveyance of a person from place A to B, as well as a checklist of topics/issues that should be addressed in a conveyance/transfer care plan.
