After more than a year of waiting, the revaluation of a responsibility premium for interns becomes effective. The unions now want the strict application of the safety rest.
The interns will have waited a year but they were finally heard. In a press release posted a few days ago, theNational InterSyndicat of Interns (ISNI) welcomes the recent publication of the order to revalue a liability premium, known as subjection for interns.
Retroactive revaluation
Indeed, a decree published Tuesday in the Official Journal revalues by 15.8% the hardship allowances of first and second year interns of medicine and practitioners acting as interns (FFI) with retroactive effect from November 1, 2013. Thus, the gross amount of the indemnity goes from 371 to 430 euros per month.
This revaluation still concerns 15,000 interns. In the end, it is clear that the mobilization of interns in November 2012 has borne fruit. However, even if they were partly heard, the interns are not completely satisfied. And now, the‘ISNI encourages the Ministry of Health to confirm its commitments, in particular on the strict application of safety rest, hitherto little respected in establishments.
A risk of medical error at stake
In theory, the intern benefits from a security rest at the end of each night shift lasting 11 hours immediately following the shift. Normally, this time devoted to safety rest cannot give rise to the fulfillment of hospital, ambulatory or university service obligations.
However, in practice, safety rest is not respected for 21% of medical interns surveyed by ISNI last year. This situation long denounced by Europe obviously has serious consequences for caregivers but also for their patients. 15% of residents questioned in 2012 declared that they had made medical errors in prescription, diagnosis or even an operative act the day after on call. Finally, more than 39% believed that they probably did, without saying so with certainty.
