Study Notes
- To be a replacement, you must be registered with the Order of your profession.
- The Order verifies the diplomas obtained by all professionals to guarantee the quality of care.
- The Order is the only one that can give you the authorization to practice, both as an incumbent and as a replacement.
- Some associations may ask for specific conditions to practice as a replacement: nurses, for example, must prove that they have worked for 18 months in the last six years, i.e. 2400 hours of actual work.
- To find out the specific criteria for your profession, visit the website of your professional association or ameli.fr.
- Once all authorizations have been obtained, a contract must be established between the replacement and the incumbent.
- It is mandatory for any replacement lasting more than 24 hours, and highly recommended for less than 24 hours.
- This contract sets out the duration of the replacement, the terms of practice and the payment of fees.
- For any replacement of more than 3 months, consecutive or not, the replacement cannot then set up in a competing practice within 2 years.
- The incumbent may, however, give his agreement and must in this case include it in the contract.
