CQC, 'Guidance for clinicians and SOADs: the imposition of medical treatment in the absence of consent' (October 2008)
SOAD guidance "The legal judgment R (on the application of PS) v (1) Responsible Medical Officer Dr. G, (2) Second Opinion Appointed Doctor Dr. W addressed responsibilities and requirements under the Mental Health Act Code of Practice and the Care Programme Approach when imposing medical treatment upon a detained patient refusing consent. This guidance presents the Commission‟s view on how the requirements as outlined in the judgement should be met by approved clinicians in charge of the treatments in question. It is updated to reflect the changes in the Mental Health Act 1983 which take effect on 3 November 2008." This MHAC guidance was re-published, then withdrawn, by the CQC.
