Rezensionen

This book is an excellent aid to support social work and health care practitioners, particularly in the context of integrated health and social care with demystifying mental capacity.

This guide is an invaluable aid to practitioners where issues of mental capacity may be of concern. Also an excellent resource for student social workers, student nurses and medical students re the examining and understanding of the importance in professional practice.
