Completing a Section 2 or Section 3 Application form as an AMHP

Completing a Section 2 or Section 3 Application form as an AMHP

Currently there are Section 2 and Section 3 AMHP admission forms available on Thalamos Assess. 

Scroll down to the required form and click 'Start form'.


The fields mirror those in the statutory forms. Complete the fields as you normally would; use the green arrows to navigate forward and backwards.

If you have already completed your profile then your name, address and local authority will automatically pre-populate. If you haven’t completed your profile either fill in the details manually or complete your profile before you start the form.

Areas where you would normally cross something out are replaced with tick boxes.

If you don’t know who the nearest relative is when completing your forms, follow the green link and complete the appropriate fields.


Sign your form once you have completed all the relevant fields.

Hopefully you have already saved your signature when you completed your profile. If so, tick the 'Use my saved signature' box. This will date and time stamp your form.

If you don’t have a saved signature, then you will need to draw this every time you complete a form.

Note: The date you saw the patient must be within 14 days of the date you sign this form.

Click View Form and review your completed form for any errors. If you need to make any changes click 'Edit' and you will navigate back to the online form.

Once you are happy with it, click 'Save form'. Once saved, you will not be able to go back and edit the form.

The form will automatically be moved to your Caseload where you can select it alongside medical recomendations to share with with the hospital. You can also download a PDF version, or print it, if you need to.
