I do not recall ever having a talk on this issue, even as a medical student-I guess this is because capacity and deprivation of liberty were not so high on the agenda then. Thus this talk was very welcome and clarified the current situation for me.

A clear and comprehensive account of an often poorly-understood area of healthcare law, one which has been highlighted by the Care Quality Commission as of vital importance to all Trusts.
