BackgroundGeneral Practitioners are often faced with deciding whether or not an unwell patient requires detention for assessment in hospital under mental health legislation. This can be a complex and daunting process. Despite this, General Practitioners and most other professionals involved receive limited formal training.AimTo map and review the current literature on training in mental health detention processes. These insights are vital to inform the further development of meaningful educational approaches.Design & SettingA systematic scoping literature review was conducted to identify what is known about how best to develop training in this area.MethodArskey and O’Malley’s framework was used to select, chart and analyse articles from across six electronic databases. 1,136 articles were included in the initial screening phase and 183 articles were included in the full-text screening phase. Key themes were derived using an iterative and thematic approach. A personal and public involvement group was set up for this project and other stakeholders in the mental health detention process were consulted about our findings.Results52 articles were included in the final review. Professionals consistently highlighted unmet training needs and difficulties with the process. There were identified needs for practical, interdisciplinary training including discussion of complex cases, and opportunities to learn from those with direct experience.ConclusionThis work is foundational for the development of meaningful educational approaches around mental health detention processes. A strong research base will inform and strengthen training with the ultimate aim of improving patient care.

In Hong Kong, compulsory admission is governed by the Mental Health Ordinance Section 31 (detention of a patient under observation), Section 32 (extension of period of detention for such a patient), Section 36 (detention of certified patients), and the sections in Part IV for hospital order, transfer order, and removal order. Mental health professionals adopt both legal criteria and practice criteria for compulsory admission. The present study discusses the harm principle, the patient's decision-making capacity, the multi-axial framework for compulsory admission, and the balance between paternalism and patient liberty.

This study sought to establish whether a history of compulsory hospital admission prevented a person from obtaining a tourist visa. A visa application form and/or other relevant information were obtained for 262 travel destinations visited by British citizens. Ninety-six (36.6%) destinations require British citizens to obtain a tourist visa. All visas are issued subject to travellers meeting a number of conditions, for example being in possession of travel insurance. Six (2.3%) destinations (Australia, China, Guam, Puerto Rico, Russia and the USA) ask applicants to declare a mental health condition. None of these destinations require applicants to disclose whether they have been admitted to hospital, either informal or under a section of the Mental Health Act 1983. However, the possibility exists that anyone declaring a mental health problem may be asked to provide further information about their condition before a visa is granted. Mental health professionals need to acquire accurate knowledge of the potential consequences of compulsory hospital admission. This will enable them to support service users more effectively. Similarly, service users need to be aware of the implications of detention for their social life following discharge from hospital. Further research is required in this area, particularly from an international perspective.
