French Public Health Code
In forceWithin the framework of their service obligations and the missions entrusted to them, practitioners in sections 1 and 3 may carry out non-clinical activities, defined in accordance with the establishment's project, the division's project and the service's project. These activities enable them to contribute to teaching and research work, to exercise institutional or managerial responsibilities, to participate in collective projects and to structure relations with community medicine. These activities are carried out subject to the requirements of the service.
Hospital practitioners whose working time is set at ten half-days per week are authorised to carry out non-clinical activities for an average of half a day per week over the four-month period by the head of the department or, failing this, the head of the unit. This half-day is automatic if requested by the practitioner. In excess of an average of half a day per week over the four-month period, the arrangements set out in the third paragraph for non-clinical activities apply to these practitioners.
For practitioners in section 1 who do not work full-time and those in section 3, non-clinical activities may be authorised by the director of the establishment in which the practitioner works, for a defined period, on a proposal from the head of the department or the head of the internal structure after consulting the head of the division or, for activities carried out outside the department or structure to which the practitioner is assigned, on a proposal from the chairman of the establishment's medical committee. Reasons are given for the refusal and the practitioner is notified in writing.
