AHM reviews take the form of a hearing at which the patient's doctor, care coordinator & nurse present written and oral evidence to a panel of three Associate Hospital Managers in an attempt to make the case that the patient should remain detained in hospital, usually the patient and their solicitor will then make the case for discharge. It is for the panel to decide on the basis of the evidence presented, whether the patient still meets the criteria for detention under the Mental Health Act. If all three panel members decide that the patient no longer meets the criteria, the panel should order the patient's release.
