NEW
The NICE guidance has just been published and this is an essential ready for all practitioners.
It covers the decision-making in people 16 years and over who may lack capacity now or in the future. It aims to help all practitioners support people to make their own decisions where they have the capacity to do so and keep them at the centre of the decision-making process. Nageena Khalique QC, barrister and chair of the committee for the NICE guideline on Decision making and mental capacity, has written a very useful blog outlining how the new guideline applies to a range of situations.
This guidance should be read in conjunction with the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It is not a substitute for the law or relevant Codes of Practice. It does not cover Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards processes.
