Yes they assess whether you need to be sectioned or not.
There are usually 2 or 3 professionals made up of a doctor and an AMHP (approved mental health practitioner) who is usually a social worker or nurse.
They just ask you questions about how you are and what's going on, what lead to your admission and if you are happy to stay informally. Or they could discharge you if they don't feel you need to be there.
