the remuneration of temporary doctors now regulated

The Pont-à-Mousson hospital (Meurthe-et-Moselle) has succeeded in limiting the use of temporary workers thanks to doctors, such as Dr Simon Pegoschoff. They share their time between the department and the Nancy University Hospital. However, temporary workers remain essential over certain periods. There will be none for the Easter holidays. Indeed, Dr. Aude Valence refuses to work at the new rate, capped at 1,170 euros gross for 24 hours. While most caregivers agree that the abuse of temp work must end, many are concerned about the implementation of the new rules.

“The implementation is not optimal”

This is the case at Nancy University Hospital. “The supervision of the interim is something that we have been asking for for some time to avoid a form of competition or deleterious one-upmanship. But, the implementation is not optimal”, regrets Professor Mathias Poussel, president of the medical commission of the Sud Lorraine group. The maternity hospital at Nancy University Hospital does not employ temporary workers, but the department head fears that the little ones are in difficulty. To ensure deliveries, a gynecologist, a pediatrician and an anesthesiologist must be present, temporary workers in many peripheral maternity wards.
