Approved Clinician Refresher Course

Tuesday 26 September 2023 – 09:00-17:00

St Andrew's Hospital, Northampton

​

This is a class-based refresher course in collaboration with St Andrew’s Healthcare, suitable for qualified professionals who already have Approved Clinician status under the Mental Health Act and are due for renewal in the next 12 months. This course automatically covers Section 12(2) approval, so there is no need for doctors to attend a separate course for Section 12 renewal.

 

The course uses real and complex case studies, interactive quizzes, mini-lectures, small-group break-out sessions and legal updates to ensure delegates are fully equipped to continue working as Approved Clinicians.

 

Please note that this course is just part of the Approved Clinician renewal process. The course is recognised nationally but the process varies according to your location.

​

The course will cover:

​

  • The roles and responsibilities of an Approved Clinician

  • Warrants & working with the police

  • Consent to Treatment

  • Detention & Liberty

  • Appeals/Hearings Procedures

  • Returning to community

  • Advocates & Statuary roles

  • Mental Health Law in Specialised Areas

  • Interface with Criminal Justice

  • Patients’ voice

  • Legal update

  • Practical aspects
