1 Standard Operating Procedure 3 (SOP 3) Template Advance Decision To Refuse Treatment &Advance Statement The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) provides the legal framework to empower and protect people over the age of 16 who may lack capacity to make some decisions for them. The MCA 2005 provides for certain ways that an individual may influence what happens to them should they ever be unable to make a particular decision in the future. For individuals over the age of 18, one of these is to be able to make an Advance Decision to refuse medical treatment (ADRT) setting out their wishes and feelings in respect to treatment. According to the House of Lords Select Committee; Advance Decisions to refuse treatment are essential means of allowing individuals to determine their care in the event that they lose capacity. As with other aspects of the Act, the general public cannot benefit from this opportunity if they are not made aware of it. (para.199). As such Black Country Partnership Foundation Trust are committed to ensure the Mental Capacity Act 2005 is embedded across the Trust, with that the awareness of Advance Decisions is key to help promote individual with the principle to take an active role in planning their care and treatment. Communication is the key to the provision of safe and effective care and is essential to all aspects of this policy Linked with the Mental Capacity Act Advance decision to Refuse Treatment and Advance decisions and The Mental Capacity Act (2005) Trust Policy. Which services of the trust does this apply to? Where is it in operation? Group Inpatients Community Locations Mental Health Services all Learning Disabilities Services all Children and Young People Services Who does the procedure apply to? (staff roles and responsibilities) All Staff involved in the care and treatment of patients. This should be document in the patient s notes. There should be a flag on the OASIS system, and it should be discussed in MDT and any patient care decisions. When should the procedure be applied? Whenever a patient is admitted, it is part of the admission to ascertain if there is an Advance decision to refuse treatment in place (ADRT) or and advance statement. The flow chart informs staff the procedures set out for this.

3 Advance decision Checklist The checklist below has been adapted from NHS National End of Life Care Programme. It is a useful tool, in helping you determine if an advance decision is valid and applicable, and legally binding. Should after following the flow chart, it become apparent the advance decision is NOT legally binding. You must still take into account the patient s wishes and feelings when assessing their best interests, if they are unable to make the decision themselves. If you have any doubt at all about the YES/NO regarding any of the questions below, please seek advice from your Manager/Matron/Medical team/senior Medical team. Prior to using the checklist, make sure you have identified the treatment for which a decision is required. Always assume the person has capacity to consent to or refuse treatment.

Make sure that you have identified and recorded the evidence that the person withdrew the advance decision. 3 Since making the advance decision has the person created a lasting power of attorney (LPA) giving anybody else the authority to refuse or consent to the treatment in question? 4 Has the person done anything that is clearly inconsistent with the advance decision remaining his/her fixed decision? IS THE ADVANCE DECISION APPLICABLE? 5 (a) Does the advance specify (b) (c) Which treatment the person wishes to refuse? (d) Is the treatment in question that specified in the advance decision?

If the professionals are satisfied that the advance decision is valid and applicable this decision becomes legally binding and must be followed, including checking that it is has not been varied or revoked by either me verbally or in writing since it was made.
