Join CPPE and an expert speaker at The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and covert administration of medicines online workshops.

Do you know who can assess whether a person has capacity to make their own decisions?

Do you know what steps need to be taken if medicines are to be administered covertly?

This is relevant to all pharmacy professionals working in both primary and secondary care as well as those supporting people in care homes or in their own homes to manage their medicines.

This workshop will help you to :

• Summarise the legal framework and professional standards surrounding the Mental Capacity Act 2005

• Describe the role of pharmacy professionals in ensuring the appropriate application and ongoing assessment of the Mental Capacity Act 2005

• Identify situations in which pharmacy professionals might encounter issues concerning mental capacity during their practice

• Identify suitable sources of information for the assessment and ongoing management of mental capacity and covert administration of medicines

• Develop a working knowledge of the content and purpose of policies and procedures which relate to the management of medicines for patients suspected of lacking mental capacity

• Recognise the situations which require referrals to other healthcare professionals.
