I tend to find free webinars on the MCA & MHA in these places (i focus on MCA but i do see MHA webinars mentioned) - [Media Centre: latest news and events | Weightmans](https://www.weightmans.com/media-centre/events/), [Events | Bevan Brittan LLP](https://www.bevanbrittan.com/insights/events/), [Insights | Browne Jacobson](https://www.brownejacobson.com/insights?type=) (less so recently here), [Events | 39 Essex Chambers](https://www.39essex.com/events) and [Events |Hill Dickinson](https://www.hilldickinson.com/events)… I would love to know what other places people find good quality free webinars/talks if anyone has any recommendations… A great collection of pre-recorded webinars can also be found here (mostly MCA focused but a few linked to MHA) - [Shedinars – Mental Capacity Law and Policy](https://www.mentalcapacitylawandpolicy.org.uk/shedinars/)… I have kept a list of all the free MCA webinars/talks that have been made available over the past 3 years that i would be happy to post here if anyone was interested. ---

See here as an example - [Case Law Update – Mental Health Act 1983 | Bevan Brittan LLP](https://www.bevanbrittan.com/insights/events/2025/2025-10-09-case-law-update-mental-health-act-1983/), " \* **Webinar | Thursday 9 October 2025 | 12:30 - 13:30 | 1 Hour** - _“[Hannah Taylor](https://www.bevanbrittan.com/people/hannah-taylor/) will be joined by [Rhys Hadden](https://www.serjeantsinn.com/barrister/5271-2/) from Serjeants’ Inn Chambers, who will consider key case law and important updates from the past 12 months relating to Mental Health Act 1983.[Rhys Hadden](https://www.serjeantsinn.com/barrister/5271-2/) specialises in all matters relating to mental capacity and mental health”_… I should also say that i am in no way affiliated with any of these organisations, i have just found their talks/webinars incredibly helpful. ---
