Mediation and patients' rights

If you believe that any of your rights as a patient have not been respected you are entitled to speak to a member of your care team to request mediation or to lodge a complaint.   

It is always advisable to first discuss your difficulties with a member of the care staff (doctor, nurse, etc.) who will be ready to listen to you throughout your stay. If that is not possible, or if a solution cannot be found, you can contact the mediation service that will try to resolve the conflict to satisfaction.   

You can contact the mediator for mediation in complete independence, impartiality, neutrality and in compliance with professional secrecy. If, despite mediation, a solution cannot be found, the mediator will inform you of the other possible alternatives for reaching a solution.

Consult the Internal Regulations Governing the mediation function.
