This poster outlines progress of an MCA project in Croydon and its positive outcomes, including engaging with GP practices, dentists and optometrists to attend MCA workshops and launching a pilot MCA self-assessment tool and Best Interests form for primary care.

This tool is drawn from the BMA MCA tool kit and the Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice . It aims to help practices consolidate and improve practice in complying with the Mental Capacity Act as well as providing evidence relevant for CQC Essential Standards.
