Overtime doubled, student nurses immediately employable: Brigitte Bourguignon (Minister of Health) announced a series "first steps" to overcome a "difficult Summer" at the hospital. She did this "without waiting for" the flash mission on emergency resolutions. "The summer is going to be hard" and "to find solutions so the French aren't deprived of care," declared Ms. Bourguignon at an intervention at the Emergency Congress in Paris, which runs from Wednesday through Friday.
According to the Samu-Urgences de France, 120 emergency services were forced to reduce their activities or prepare for it. However, the "government is taking its responsibilities in face of crisis" a- she stated. Notably, the executive "decided that the overtime pay for non-medical staff would be doubled and doctors would have additional work time during the summer."
Minister also announced an "exceptional system" to allow "student nurses or nursing assistants who have completed their initial training in June or July (can) immediately start practicing without waiting for their diploma to be officially presented". Retired carers who "volunteer" to resume their activities this summer will be able to take advantage of "facilities (with) retirement pension".
The ARS has been directed to "remobilize territorial crisis management system" in order to coordinate public and private hospitals, clinics, and liberal professions.
She added that these "first steps" will be soon complemented by suggestions from the Braun mission. Emmanuel Macron has actually instructed Dr. Francois Braun to head the CHR in Metz's emergency department and president of Samu-Urgences de France with a "flash missions" on "unscheduled Care", the results of which will be available before the 1st of July.
