An app and website which connects Approved Mental Health Professionals with Section 12 approved Doctors

S12 Solutions connects AMHPs with available, local s.12 doctors via an app and website, helping to reduce assessment delays caused by the current paper-based assessment set-up process. The platform enables quicker and easier Mental Health Act assessment set-up, and claim for creation and submission.

• Service users are assessed sooner by the best available assessing team, minimising distress and risk.
• AMHPs have more time to prepare for assessment.
• Doctors get fairer access to and more control over their s.12 work.
• Police spend less time waiting with service users in Section 136 scenarios, reducing the risk of unlawful detention.
