Dr M. Dolors Navarro participated in a round table on the role of patients at the Catalan Society for Healthcare Management.

The Director of the Albert J. Jovell Institute for Public Health and Patients, María Dolores Navarro, participated in a round table organised by the Catalan Society for Healthcare Management.  The event, held recently, was entitled "Participación, implicación y corresponsabilización de los pacientes en el sistema de salud” [Participation, Implication and Co-Responsibility of Patients in the Healthcare System].  There was also a debate open to the public held afterwards. 

This session raised awareness of experiences of new dynamics when making participatory or shared decisions, both in the organisational and clinical fields.  Another objective was to hold a debate on the limits of shared responsibility and on the appearance of ethical conflicts or difficult decisions.
