Mental Health
Mental health problems affect one in three people in the UK at some time in their life.
The Mental Health Review Tribunal is the statutory, independent body responsible for hearing appeals against detention. It operates like a mobile court and sits in the hospital where the patient is detained.
Any patient who has been detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 has
the right to appeal their detention.
We represent patients and relatives at Mental Health Review Tribunals.
We are Law Society Accredited for our work at Mental Health Review Tribunals.
All patients who appeal to an MHRT have a right to legal representation
through legal aid.
