About Me

My photo
The Masked AMHP
I was an Approved Mental Health Professional and Practice Consultant working for a local authority AMHP Service in England. I practiced under 3 Mental Health Acts, since as long ago as 1981, even before the 1983 Mental Health Act. Which makes me pretty ancient now. I am now retired. This blog is designed to illuminate and explain the functions and dilemmas of an AMHP within the Mental Health Act. It is intended to be of help to professionals and service users alike. I hope that it is both informative and entertaining.
