À propos de cet audio

In this episode, we explore the practical challenges of applying the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and the Mental Health Act (MHA) in the emergency department.

We discuss how to assess capacity in time-critical situations, when and how the Mental Health Act may apply, and the legal and ethical responsibilities of clinicians when patients wish to leave against medical advice.
