The Legal Use of Control and Restraint

The appropriate, legal use of control and restrain is necessary in many clinical settings.  However, inappropriate use, and the lack of detailed documentation of decisions, can make healthcare professionals vulnerable to accusations of mistreatment. 

 

This popular joint Healthcare Conference UK and InPractice training day will look at control and restraint in the context of the Human Rights Act, the Mental Health Act, the Mental Capacity Act and other relevant legal and ethical principles.

 

Through intensive interactive learning, this training course will support you in the appropriate legal use of control and restraint and give you the opportunity to address concerns and issues you many have with a practicing healthcare lawyer and colleagues in a similar position to you.
