Learning objectives

By the end of the session, learners should be able to accurately define the Mental Capacity Act, its purpose and practical implications in healthcare settings.
Learners will be able to understand and describe the main principles and key components of the Mental Capacity Act, including aspects like autonomy, protection, and decision-making ability.
The session aims to develop the ability of the learners to identify potential cases where the Mental Capacity Act would be applicable, differentiating situations where an individual has the capacity to make decisions for themselves and where they may be lacking such capacity.
Learners will be equipped with practical skills to properly assess a patient's mental capacity, including knowledge of relevant assessment tools, communication techniques, and appropriate considerations to keep in mind during the process.
By the end of the session, learners should be able to apply their knowledge of the Mental Capacity Act and skills in assessing capacity to practical case studies, showing a clear understanding of their responsibilities and steps to take when a patient does not have the capacity to make their own decisions.
