Abstract

The societal, political and institutional context is today favorable for the establishment of a partnership between patient and healthgivers. Despite the tangible benefits, the perception of partners ambivalent attitudes reinforces the importance of the construction for this collaboration. This article describes this collaborative approach born out of the transformation of a bariatric surgery preparation educational program. In this context, the implementation strategy is the founding stage to explore the needs of partners. This highlights the need to secure the healthgivers regarding power issues, as well as to question the skills required for patient partners. The definition of the partnership model by the partners provides answers.
