Attorneys, deputies and decision-making

Join this session for the second webinar in OPG's series, where the focus will be on attorneys, deputies and decision-making under the MCA 2005. Join to learn about:

• The role of attorneys and deputies

• When and how attorneys and deputies are expected to make decisions

• How health and social care professionals can support best interest decision-making

• Navigating disputes over best interest decisions.

Explore the framework that the Mental Capacity Act 2005 provides for making decisions on behalf of someone who lacks capacity to decide for themselves. Those facilitating will also signpost to the guidance available for attorneys, deputies and professionals involved in making best interest decisions.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation.
