title: [The local ethics committee, an opportunity for the hospital?].
abstract: Meeting both a legal obligation and a motivation of professionals to lead an ethical reflection about the complex issues of their activities, the local ethics committee is based on exchange, listening and collegiality. It gives to everyone a real resource for its own exercise and collective contribution to the quality of care.
