Amyloidosis and its treatments can really change patients’ quality of life, as well as that of their loved ones. It can cause difficulty, worry and emotional suffering. Our psychologist offers an open ear to patients and their loved ones either by appointment or as part of the genetic counselling process. Please note that our psychologist can only offer help to French-speaking patients and relatives.

This illness can change patients’ social, professional and family life. Our social care officer is there from Monday to Friday to listen, give advice and information and guide patients through different social processes (care access and entitlement, guidance, returning home). The social care officer can be seen on appointment or visit patients in their hospital rooms. Please note that she can only offer help to French-speaking patients and relatives.
