In this highly sensitive and emotional environment where human bodies are at the centre of the disputes, tensions can often appear between the different actors. Stressful situations and outside pressure can lead to a breakdown in communication, which can cause disputes. The fact that resolving disputes through mediation is quicker and less expensive than going through the courts as well as the confidential and private nature of mediation means that it is  the ideal way to resolve medical disputes.  Mediation avoids  damage to the image and reputation of medical facilities or personnel but its collaborative nature means it also takes into account the well-being of patients and other parties  as well as building the mutual trust necessary for sustaining a future relationship.

Medical disputes can arise between various different parties:

• Doctors, patients and relatives
• Health insurance companies and insurees
• Conflict management in hospitals
• In Homecare
