To fight against medical deserts, the Order of Physicians proposes a new organization of the care pathway so that “

each patient, in each territory, can be taken care of by a local primary care team

”, Friday in a press release.

Advocating teamwork with other health professionals, the Order nevertheless reaffirms the central role of the general practitioner: the "

optimized coordination between professionals

" must be done "

under his responsibility

", he explains.

Doctors say they are ready for the "

transfer of acts

", which will allow other professionals to carry out acts hitherto reserved only for doctors, a measure that has been demanded for a long time by several bodies of caregivers, such as nurses or midwives.

A concession which should however result in decisions on a case-by-case basis.

"

Within each territory, each care team will adapt its operating model to the existing professional means

", explains the Order.

These proposals from the College of Physicians caught the other orders of the health professions off guard.

Gathered within a "

liaison committee

", these bodies have been tasked by the Minister of Health, François Braun, with drafting proposals to revise the care path for patients and thus fight against non-access to care, especially in medical deserts.

Received by several members of the government this week, this committee, made up of seven orders, had reached a consensus on Thursday evening and was to make a common copy in the coming days, but the Order of Physicians took the lead.
