Question 8036 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Yves Jégo questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the regulatory definition of advanced nursing practice. Established by the 2016 health law, advanced nursing practice makes it possible to create a new profession among health professionals, between the nurse as we know it and the doctor. For this, the nurse who wishes to practice in an advanced manner will have to complete his training with two years additional, in order to obtain a master's type diploma. The definition of the medical practices that this new type of nurse will be able to carry out, as well as the training necessary to carry them out, were referred to a decree, a draft of which was presented in March 2018. This seems to be the subject of numerous criticisms, from all sides of the medical world. Present for many years in other countries, these practical nurses advanced skills allow, thanks to their extensive skills, to strengthen the healthcare system, particularly in under-resourced areas. In a context of population aging, medical desertification of rural areas and the development of chronic diseases, these advanced practice nurses seem to constitute an important and innovative link for effective care provision. For this, their skills must be extended, thanks to quality training. He then wishes to know the Government's intentions regarding the establishment of advanced nursing practice.
