In order to ensure continuity of care, the organisation of medical, pharmaceutical and odontological attendance time, based on the specific characteristics of the various structures, is decided annually by the Director of the establishment after consultation with the establishment medical committee or, where applicable, the local establishment medical committee. A nominative duty roster, drawn up on this basis, is drawn up monthly by the director on the proposal of the head of the department or, failing this, the head of the department, functional unit or any other internal structure.
Attached practitioners devote the number of half-days per week set out in their contract to the hospital service to which they are assigned, as shown on the duty roster. These service obligations are between one and ten half-days per week.
