Associate Director and Head of Long Term and Elderly Care at Gregg Latchams Solicitors in Bristol, Heledd Wyn will be giving her alumni lecture entitled "Mental Capacity, Long-Term Care & the role of the lawyer", as part of the Law School Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series.

Learning law is a life-long skill. There are always new laws and new cases. In the last 15 years there have been two significant new pieces of legislation – the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Care Act 2014. With an ageing population and a greater understanding and awareness of mental health issues – what impact is there on society? 

No need to book, just come along!

This event is open to University of Bristol Law School students.
