The Mental Capacity
Act 2005 will be have a direct impact on about two million people in
England and Wales and many more informal
carers - and will be particularly relevant to older people with mental
health problems.
Those most
likely to be affected include people with dementia, people with learning
disabilities and people with mental health problems. The Act also has
major implications for those in the caring professions. A code of practice
with new roles and responsibilities will be introduced across all health
and social care professions.
This course is mostly aimed at
seniors and managers of care homes. |
