Understanding Capacity and Conditions for Healthcare Support Workers in Health and Care

This course helps healthcare support workers master the core principles and provisions of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. You will develop the ability to accurately distinguish between mental illness, dementia, and learning disabilities, understanding their impact on capacity. It provides practical guidance for assessing and understanding capacity in a healthcare setting, enabling you to implement strategies for providing truly person-centred care. By upholding individual dignity and promoting autonomy, you will ensure care practices respect decision-making and are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of individuals receiving support.
