Question 26976 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Marie Tamarelle-Verhaeghe draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the level 2 qualified dental assistant project. Currently, the profession of dental assistant is governed by article L. 4393-9 of the public health code, which specifies that "the terms of training as well as the terms of delivery of this title are set by order of the Minister responsible for health", after the opinion of a commission composed of notably dental surgeons. Aware of the need to develop this profession, the social partners of the dental practice sector and the Ministry of Solidarity and Health have been working for several years on the level 2 dental assistant project, of which we find certain equivalences in the European Union. Practitioners would delegate specific tasks to these new collaborators. Training to hygiene, therapeutic education and nutrition of the latter would be strengthened. Dentists could then free up medical time, which would promote access to care and support for patients in areas such as prevention and health education. Furthermore, the creation of this new profession would constitute the ideal and legitimate response to training and a successful professional career for employees in the dental practice sector. Given these contributions in terms of public health, she would like to know his opinion on this subject. She also wants to know where the discussions are with representatives of the professions concerned.
