Explain compulsory admission and rights — CASC communication station

Station brief

Format. Communication station, approximately 7–10 minutes active time after reading. You are the psychiatry registrar on the acute ward. The examiner plays the patient.[1]

Candidate instructions. Explain compulsory inpatient status in plain language. Cover why the team judged it necessary (illness + risks), that you used the least restrictive option that was still safe, what treatment involves at a high level, rights to information/advocacy/review under local law (principles — do not invent section numbers), and that status will be reviewed as they improve. Respond to anger without becoming defensive. Check understanding.[1][2]
