About Me

My photo
The Masked AMHP
I am an Approved Mental Health Professional and Practice Consultant working for a local authority AMHP Service in England. I have 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. This blog is designed to illuminate and explain the functions and dliemmas 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. I am also a freelance trainer, and have taught mental health law on an AMHP course. I've appeared at conferences all over England and Wales. If you'd like to book me for your conference or training event just send me an email.
