The MCA 2005 in practice — the two-stage test, best interests, DoLS and worked scenarios.
A workbook that finally makes capacity click. Covers the five statutory principles of the MCA 2005, the two-stage capacity test broken down criterion by criterion, best interests decision-making under section 4, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (Cheshire West test), IMCAs, LPAs and court-appointed deputies, advance decisions and five worked clinical scenarios (dementia, intoxication, anorexia, expressive aphasia, and no-next-of-kin). Includes a documentation template and self-test.
The capacity assessment scenarios were excellent. Helped me understand the two-stage test and best interests decision-making for my exams.
