Mental Capacity Act 2005 (England and Wales)

This short online course introduces the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and its relevance to care professionals in Scotland, especially when working with services that follow cross-border care policies or when liaising with English services. You'll explore the principles of the Act, how capacity is assessed, and how to support decision-making. 🧠⚖️

Although the MCA does not apply directly in Scotland, understanding its principles is valuable, as many are reflected in Scottish practice under adults with incapacity legislation and health and social care standards.
