This easy-to-read book explains the nuts and bolts of the Mental
Capacity Act 2005 that clinicians need to understand and use in
their daily practice. This Act now gives all clinicians the
authority to provide medical care and treatment for people over 16
years of age who lack the capacity to consent for themselves. It
covers: how to assess whether a person lacks capacity and how to
clarify the threshold of decision-making incapacity; the range,
scope and limitations of the various authorities to treat
(including 'best interests' decisions, advance decisions and
lasting powers of attorney); the range of safeguards in place (such
as the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLs), the Court of
Protection and Independent Mental Health Advocates); and relevant
aspects of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Mental Health Act
(including all recent amendments) and illustrative case law. There
have been numerous developments in case law in the two years since
the first edition. The second edition expands on clinically
relevant issues from the courts, and assists in bridging the gap
between court judgments and the frontline clinician.
