We thought it would be appropriate for the first blog on the website to be about the upcoming publication date for our book, Assessing Mental Capacity: A Handbook to Guide Professionals From Basic to Advanced Practice. We are very excited to announce the book will be published on 21 May 2020 and is available to pre-order now.
This publication represents the culmination of five year’s hard work from inception to completion, not something that we foresaw! The book began as an idea by Janice, who asked me to come on board as editor. It has been a long road and juggling real life, work and parenthood alongside has been a challenge for both of us, but here we finally are, fast approaching publication. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all the contributors for their hard work and sharing their expertise, as without them it would be a very slim volume indeed.
The book is intended to be easily accessible and something busy professionals can dip in and out of for guidance when needed. We sincerely hope you find the book and the accompanying website useful in your everyday practice. If you do, we would greatly appreciate you leaving a review, or constructive feedback, and spreading the word amongst colleagues and the teams you work in. We would also love to hear from you so follow us on social media and tell us what you think!
We hope you enjoy the book
Kate and Janice
