Practitioners covered by this section, while in active employment, devote their entire professional activity to the health care institution and to the institutions, services or organisations linked to it by agreement, subject to the provisions of article R. 6152-24.
The weekly service obligations of hospital practitioners are set at ten half-days when they work full time and between five and nine half-days when they work part time.
The procedures by which practitioners governed by this section fulfil their service obligations are specified by the internal regulations of the establishment to which they are assigned.
In order to ensure continuity of care, the organisation of medical, pharmaceutical and odontological presence time, established according to the specific characteristics of the different structures, is decided annually by the director of the establishment after consulting the establishment’s medical committee. A nominative duty roster, drawn up on this basis, is approved on a monthly basis by the director after consultation with the head of the department, on the proposal of the head of the department or, failing this, the head of the functional unit or another internal structure.
