Product Description
Product Description
This Code of Practice is a reference tool for those dealing with, and caring for people admitted to hospital and care homes with mental health problems. Authored by the Department of Health and produced following wide consultation with those who provide and receive services under the Mental Health Act, this publication will come into force on 3 November 2008. Through the Mental Health Act 2007, the Government has updated the 1983 Act to ensure it keeps pace with the changes in the way that mental health services are - and need to be - delivered. This publication provides guidance and advice to registered medical practitioners, approved clinicians, managers and staff of hospitals, and approved mental health professionals on how they should proceed when undertaking duties under the Act. It also gives guidance to doctors and other professionals about certain aspects of medical treatment for mental disorder more generally. The Mental Health Act Code of Practice is also aimed at all of those working in primary care, Mental Health Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts as well as solicitors and attorneys who advise on mental health law. The Code should also be beneficial to the police and ambulance services and others in health and social services (including the independent and voluntary sectors) involved in providing services to people who are, or may become, subject to compulsory measures under the Act. It will also be a guide for those working with people with specific mental health needs such as those in nursing and care homes, and those in prison.

This is an essential for anyone working with the Mental Health Act. The main purpose of it is basically to explain how to apply the Act in day to day situations - Best read in conjunction with other material such as the Jones manual, The Maze and the MHA reference guide available on the Department of Health website. Simply put, it is the first book i reach for when stuck with a Mental Health Act issue (daily!)

Hi
As a RN and working with Elderly people living with dementia i have found the need to have information about the mental health act, and this book gives me all the information i need without having the full mental health act to read. The book is laid out clearly in to the relevant chapters, and easy to understand. I would say its a must for some one who needs a potted overview of the MHA 83

394 pages to explain you the main sections of the MHA in a confusing way?
Not useful , I read it TWICE , I took notes,still not convinced.
Do you need to understand the MHA ,its sections and the amendments,well, do not buy it then.Are you really desperate to have it?, well, at least save the money and download it for free from th web.
