[Patient consent at the core of care]. / Le consentement du patient au cœur du soin.

Respecting a patient's decision is an obligation even in the case of cognitive disorders. Obtaining their consent for treatment requires attentive listening, adapted communication and reassurance techniques. The aim is to establish a relationship of trust and to create a calm and reassuring atmosphere. Caregivers are often placed at the heart of a complex situation and must therefore choose the best strategy.
