The therapeutic representative is the person who can be appointed to make treatment decisions when the patient is no longer able to express his or her wishes. This figure, provided for in Swiss law, plays a crucial role in ensuring that the preferences, dignity and interests of the sick or incapacitated person are respected.
The issue, at the crossroads of ethics, law and clinical practice, challenges all health professionals and requires an open dialogue with patients and families.

The conference proposes reflections and tools to address these sensitive decisions, enhancing collaboration between health, legal and patient representatives.
