Reviews

'The Mental Health Tribunal provides a necessary review of a patient’s MHA detention, but for the Tribunal to perform at its best in considering a case with due diligence and urgency, the evidence of witnesses also need to be at its best. This book, with contributions by a range of experienced Tribunal members, provides valuable guidance to those giving written or oral evidence. I would encourage this to be read by anyone in that position.' - Carolyn Fyall, District Tribunal Judge and Training Lead, Manchester Civil Justice Centre 'Clinicians often struggle to understand their role in tribunals. This book will go a long way in helping them and is an important publication which I hope all facilities with detained patients will use.' - Meera Roy, Medical Member, Mental Health Tribunal, HESC
