About this event

These webinars are a collaboration between Thalamos and Weightmans, where they will explore what really happens at the intersections of the Mental Health Act and the Mental Capacity Act.

By the end of both sessions you will feel more confident making the right decision in front of you and how to build a system that makes the right decision more likely every time.

Session one

For frontline staff: practical tools and confidence in high-pressure situations.
For leaders: surface patterns of variation and risk that have organisational implications.

Content themes:

  • Typical grey-zone scenarios in emergency and inpatient settings
  • Capacity assessment in crisis contexts
  • When deprivation of liberty becomes unavoidable
  • Learning from case law without turning it into a lecture
  • Documentation, defensibility and professional protection
