liberal nurses take on a challenge

Since June 2024, any socially insured person belonging to a defined age group corresponding to one of the four key periods of their life can benefit from a new system called “My prevention report”. The liberal nurses of Occitanie have decided to mobilize en masse and are launching a “challenge” on this ambitious prevention system, allowing to act on the habits and lifestyles of the population and thus make them an actor in their health.

The URPS Challenge

The URPS is taking on a challenge: 1,000 “nursing” assessments before the end of January 2025, prevention month. Then, 1000 per month until the end of the year, bringing to 12 000 minimumthe number of prevention assessments carried out by nurses in 2025 in Occitanie. “This objective will be achieved by a long way because there are 13,000 of us in the region. This means less than 1 assessment per nurse per year,” believes Jean-François BOUSCARAIN president of the URPS Infirmier Occitanie.

« My prevention report”, what is it?

A prevention assessment is a time for discussion allowing patients and health professionals to discuss lifestyle habits, identify risk factors for chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.), and carry out screenings (cancers, STIs). …) and vaccination reminders. Only doctors, nurses, pharmacists, midwives and physiotherapists are authorized to carry it out.

100% covered by Health Insurance

The system is intended for all socially insured people at key ages of life, namely between: 4 key ages of life: 18-25 years > 45-50 years > 60-65 years > 70-75 years. These prevention assessments are 100% covered by Health Insurance, which will send invitations to the policyholders concerned in the coming months, without any advance fees. For now, documents can be collected via Mon Espace Santé and ameli.fr
