The Amended Mental Health Act

This one-day masterclass provides an overview of the main changes to the Mental Health Act 1983 made by the Mental Health Act 2007.  The day will include working through case studies based on the main interactions that a mental health professional will have with a service user (from diagnosis to discharge and treatment in the community) and look at the practical implication of the changes.

The programme includes:

• The new definitions and detentions criteria
• Understanding new professional roles and responsibilities
• Changes to consent in treatment provisons
• Examination of supervised community treatment orders
• Service User’s rights
• Guidance on writing reports for Tribunals
