Capacity assessment research – help wanted!

As part of the Wellcome-funded Mental Health and Justice Project, a metacognition workstream is looking at the interfaces between mental capacity and cognitive science.  One of their main goals is to understand how capacity is assessed in practice and how best to support assessors from various backgrounds. To look further into this, they are surveying legal, health and social care professionals in England & Wales. It is a short, 2-page online document which should take between 2 and 10 minutes to complete.  The results will help the group and the wider MHJ project to tailor their future research to the concerns raised.   If you would like to take part or share, please click here.
