New liberty protection safeguards (LPS) are expected to replace the deprivation of liberty safeguards (DoLS) shortly and a half-day masterclass will look at the law as it stands and cover the plans for reform. It will look at the situation in residential care, the community and in hospital settings. Among the topics to be covered by health and social care lawyer Ben Troke is what can be done now to prepare for the LPS, both to meet the rights of individuals and to do in a cost effective and efficient way. Masterclasses are available on 28 April, 9 June, 15 September and 24 November. For more details, go to website www.socialcareconferences.co.uk or email kate@hc-uk.org.uk
