Access to care: the Bugey medical center is experimenting with an increase in its reception capacities

On guidance from the SAMU, a local general practitioner provides consultations for occasional health problems that cannot wait until the next day.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. (new slots);

Saturday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays;

at the on-call medical center at the Bugey Sud Hospital Center.

This reception is only open to patients who have been referred by the SAMU. No reception will take place directly on site.

As a reminder, for any need for unscheduled care in the evening and on weekends and in the absence of the possibility of seeing your attending physician, dial 15.

An experiment lasting three months

The opening of appointment slots during the week at the Belley on-call medical center is an experiment for a period of three months, from 1^is November 2024 to January 31, 2025 inclusive.

It comes at a time when the needs of the population are increasing due to the winter period.

It complements the offer of the Bugey Sud professional community which makes unscheduled care slots available to the population every day https://www.cpts-bugeysud.fr/actions
