In this episode, we provide some examples of conversations where a doctor explores whether a patient has capacity. If listening to this without the workbook, consider whether the patient has capacity, and how the doctor is exploring this well, and in what ways it could be improved. 

This episode can be listened to as stand-alone; however there is also an accompanying workbook, hosted at: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/2w5eqke9s56s3/Contingency_FM or, for Newcastle medical students, on the MLE under 5th year/HBP medicine/Wear/Contingency FM

You will need 

• Capacity and consent workbook 
• Blank DOLS form 
• Answers to the capacity and consent workbook 
• Capacity podcast (to listen to each capacity assessment)

Instructions: 

The workbook talks you through the activity and will tell you when to fill in the DOLS form and when to listen to the podcast.
