Mental Capacity Matters with Alex Ruck Keene

In this episode, I learn about the work of Gill Loomes-Quinn, who (in her words) is a disabled scholar-activist, with a background in community advocacy. We discuss, in particular, her PhD research around advance decision-making in the context of disability (and her cat makes an important contribution right at the end).

In this episode, I talk to Julian Sheather , special adviser in ethics and human rights to the British Medical Association. Amongst other topics we look at decision-making in relation to older adolescents, and grapple with some of the ethical underpinnings to the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

The latest ‘in conversation from the shed’ is with the psychiatrist, Dr Gareth Owen, in which we discuss what makes some capacity assessments complex, some tips for addressing messiness, and the importance of time. For the original video, see here .

In this episode, I talk to Jakki Cowley, an inspirational Independent Mental Capacity Advocate. The conversation ranges widely over subjects such as what IMCA advocacy constitutes, top tips for engaging with medical teams and advocacy for those in Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness.
