We recognise that COVID19 has presented a huge array of challenges to our healthcare clients. Therefore, we are hosting a webinar to address the legal and practical implications of the Coronavirus Act 2020 and the associated issues the pandemic has presented.

We will discuss matters that pervade the health and social care sector with particular focus on:

  • Discharge guidance including:
  • NHS Continuing Healthcare considerations
  • The easements of social care obligations, and post discharge support
  • Balancing risk during the COVID19 crisis (human rights implications, PPE issues)
  • Impact on the Mental Health Act
  • Impact on the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
  • Organisations’ positions on indemnity
  • Information sharing issues
