The Mental Capacity Act (2005) provides health and legal professionals with an academic framework to assess and evaluate an individual's ability to make a decision, but in practice, mental capacity assessments are often misunderstood and poorly conducted.

This book will:

- Cut through the jargon and clarify the assessment process

- Give you the confidence and ability to conduct robust assessments

- Show how to set the threshold of understanding that is necessary for every assessment

- Enable you to record your assessments appropriately so they stand up to legal scrutiny

- Help you achieve the optimum outcome for those in your charge
