Mental Health Care Training Course

Course Overview

The Mental Health Care Training Course is an accredited programme designed for healthcare and social care professionals. It equips learners with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required to protect the welfare, rights, and dignity of individuals who may lack mental capacity.

This course provides step-by-step guidance on assessing mental capacity and understanding best-interest decision-making. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and related legislation, exploring how these laws impact both service users and mental health care professionals.
