Pathway

Ready for the Mental Health Act 2025.

Pathway turns the new statutory duties of the Mental Health Act 2025 into a clear workflow: Care and Treatment Plans, Advance Choice Documents, the Nominated Person role and statutory timelines, drafted from the record for the clinician to complete and sign.

The problem

A new Act, new statutory duties, and no tool built for them.

The Mental Health Act 2025 introduces new obligations: statutory Care and Treatment Plans, Advance Choice Documents, the Nominated Person role, and tighter timelines. Today these are tracked on paper and memory, where deadlines slip and compliance is hard to evidence.

How it works

From statutory duty to completed artefact.

  1. 1

    Draft from the record

    Pathway drafts the statutory artefacts using information already in the record.

  2. 2

    Clinician completes

    The responsible clinician reviews, completes and signs each document with the patient.

  3. 3

    Track the timelines

    Statutory deadlines, renewals and tribunal dates are tracked and surfaced.

  4. 4

    Evidence compliance

    A clear, exportable picture of statutory compliance for the ward and the trust.

Built safe

The guardrails, by design.

  • The clinician completes and signs

    Pathway drafts. It never finalises a statutory document on its own.

  • Statutory accuracy first

    Built around the duties in the Act, with the responsible clinician accountable.

  • A support, not a substitute

    Pathway organises the work; clinical and legal judgement stays human.

  • Auditable throughout

    Every draft and sign-off is logged for governance and inspection.

Regulatory position. Pathway is a statutory workflow and documentation tool, built to DSPT and UK GDPR standards and aligned to the Mental Health Act 2025. It is in development. It supports compliance; it does not replace clinical or legal judgement.
