Hi Tony, under the doctor's name there is "Praticien Hospitalier" and under that there is "référent..."
Tony M May 23, 2019:
@ Asker: Context? How does this actually appear in the "letterhead"? I.e. are you suggesting that this is some kind of hospital-wide job title? Or maybe specific to this case?
