Declarations
:
: As stated by the ‘Comité d’Ethique Hospitalo-Facultaire Universitaire de Liège’: “There is no need to submit the type of work described by Henrard <i>et al</i> to an Ethics Committee in Belgium. In addition, we consider that oral consent given by the interviewed person is sufficient in this case”. Concerning our study, the Belgian law of 2004 on experiments on the human person does not apply, nor does the law of 2018 on the protection of private data, since these kind of data are not processed in the study. The questionnaires addressed healthcare professionals on their professional practice without sensitive aspects. At the beginning of the roundtable meetings, the work setting of the facilitator and main author of this article (a thesis with a publication perspective) was recalled (see additional file InternalRef removed) and it was verbally assured that nobody objected to the taking of notes and that the results of the questionnaires would be processed in a study and published.
