About the
Course
The Mental Health Act amendments of
2007 include some significant changes to the legal framework for
the compulsory care and treatment of mentally disordered patients
in England and Wales. It has introduced a number of new roles and
allows a broader range of professionals to carry out functions
under the Act.
Our national series of Approval Training Courses for Approved
Clinicians is delivered by a multi disciplinary team of trainers
with extensive clinical experience and knowledge, including
advisors to the Department of Health. The Centre for Advanced
Learning and Conferences has undertaken a key role in the
Department of Health’s National Advisory Group for Approved
Clinician Training. Designed to enable eligible mental health
professionals to gain approval to act as Approved Clinicians, the
course fulfils all relevant training requirements.
This course is eligible for 12 CPD hours
subject to your peer group approval.
