On December 09, EUR SIePS took part in the Senate Breakfast Debate on "The nurse of today and tomorrow", organized by Cercle Santé et Territoires.
Tuesday morning, December 09, at the Palais du Luxembourg, we were invited to a breakfast debate on the nurse of today and tomorrow, as part of the Cercle Santé et Territoire.
Professor Aurore Margat spoke, reminding us of the international context -the removal of Nursing Sciences from the list of professional disciplines in the United States- and expressing the hope of decrees to implement the law of June 27, 2025 on the nursing profession in France.
She outlined 3 political levers for successful reform:
🧩 1. make training the heart of the strategy
- Support initial and continuing training for nurses.
- Structure a network of universities - IFSIs - care and health facilities.
- Fund training for internship supervisors.
🤝 2. Territorialize attractiveness
- Extend territorial commitment grants nationwide.
- Support experiments in mixed practice (town - hospital - research).
- Modernize nursing zoning via open, up-to-date data.
🧭 3. Steering the transformation
- Create a High Council for nursing training and research.
- Involve users and territories in the evaluation of training and actions.
- Include nursing sciences in the next research programming law.
And its conclusion resonates:
"Supporting the nurses of tomorrow means making the choice of a healthcare system that thinks, anticipates, connects and emancipates. It means recognizing the nurse as a player capable of bridging the gap between care, science and society. It means thinking in terms of a healthcare system that invests in the intelligence of care and health, in health democracy and in equity of access at the local level.
Professor MARGAT was accompanied by Marine Bourgninaud and Juliette EKPE. She took over from Thierry amouroux and handed over to Lucie Nicault.
