This guide on assessment of people with some sort of mental impairment is a broad ranging report produced jointly by the British Medical Association and the Law Society. It is an authoritative statement on an important area. Its wide ranging coverage makes it essential reading for these groups. The second edition has been revised throughout to bring it right up to date with present requirements.


The British Medical Association is the professional association and registered trade union for doctors in the United Kingdom. The association does not regulate or certify doctors, a responsibility which lies with the General Medical Council.

The Law Society of England and Wales is the professional association that represents and governs solicitors for the jurisdiction of England and Wales. It provides services and support to practising and training solicitors, as well as serving as a sounding board for law reform.
