Abstract
The First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health) is a legal body that reviews the rights of detained patients in hospital and whether continued detention under the Mental Health Act 1983 remains in the best interests of the patient. To undertake this work, the Tribunal examines evidence presented in clinical reports and oral evidence by mental health staff, including psychiatrists, community mental health nurses and/or social workers, and inpatient mental health nurses. This article discusses best practice concerning preparation required by inpatient mental health nurses attending the Mental Health Tribunal as expert witnesses to give evidence.
