In this module, we discuss the framework of the law and focus on the reforms of 2024 that were necessary to better respond to the changing healthcare needs. You will discover which concrete changes have been implemented and how these affect daily practice. This includes an explanation of what capacity to consent means, how the distinction between a confidant and a representative works, and how patients gain more control over their care pathway.
