Summary/Abstract: Medical communication is an important element in the doctor-patient relationship. Special attention must be paid to neurological patients and how they are communicated with. They often feel vulnerable due to health problems and unfamiliar people, frequently having poor memory and confused thinking. Particularly, emphasis must be placed on obtaining informed consent and respecting their confidentiality. Effective medical communication will help the doctor achieve their goals in dialogue with the patient and improve the outcomes of their professional activity.
