Mental Capacity Cat - Hannah Nicholas

Developing a new course on the MCA and alcohol and substance use in the coming months. A complex area where I’m finding a theme of professionals being challenged when completing capacity assessments.
Hoping it will help and looking forward to getting my geek on! 🐾

I don’t like the phrase “bespoke package” of care. Because all care packages should be bespoke by the nature of being person centred.
Right?

Right?

Context: bespoke in this case refers to a package that exceeds 4 x calls a day in someone’s own home.

Happy new year everyone! We’re back and ready to go!

Looking forward to seeing everyone during our busy first few months of 2025 at our sessions!
