Difficulty at work: compulsory medical visits – 20-hour diary

This carer is having her first medical visit, because she has just been hired in an EHPAD. She will be monitored regularly and at age 45, she will have a mandatory check-up. If the pension reform is passed, she will have a new one at 61. Her occupational physician will then be able to put her on early retirement. In this association, which brings together occupational physicians, this proposal caused a great deal of reaction. Isn’t a medical examination at 61 too late? Will it only be intended for employees working in arduous jobs and above all will the diagnosis be easy to make? Finally, these occupational physicians are wondering if they will have the means to do so. Knowing that in five years, the profession has lost 50% of its workforce. Doctor Jean-Louis Zylberberg has already thought of a solution, which would be that “the regulations will change and we will ask occupational health nurses to make this visit”. Lucid in the face of this shortage, the government has already mentioned that it could call on attending physicians. TF1 | Report ML Bonnemain, G. Richaud, B. Poiseuil
