About the event
This webinar led by Dr Mark Jayes; Research fellow in Communication disability and speech and language therapist at Manchester Metropolitan University will introduce participants to the MCAST tool and its use and applicability across the multi-disciplinary team. The MCAST has been developed to support hospital staff to carry out mental capacity assessments for patients; it includes a support tool to help staff plan high quality capacity assessments; a communication screening tool to enable staff to identify patients communication difficulties; and a pack of materials for staff to use to support patients.
The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Whether you have been diagnosed with MND or you know someone who has, our services can make a real difference to how you cope in the future.
