The president of the Normandy Region, Hervé Morin, the vice-president of the Eure department, Frédéric Duché and the president of the Lyons Andelle Community of Communes, Jean-Luc Romet visited the Multidisciplinary health center (MSP) in Charleval (Eure), open since May 2021, one year after its inauguration.

A visit organized before the signing of the new territory contract for Com'com Lyons Andelle. A nod to municipal structuring projects since the creation of the MSP was one of the projects of the previous territory contract.

33 healthcare professionals

Located on rue du Catelier, the Charleval MSP today has 33 health professionals. There are ten general practitioners, five nurses, a midwife, six physiotherapists, a psychomotor therapist, a chiropodist-podiatrist, two psychologists, two speech therapists, a dietician, an osteopath, a digestive surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon and two surgeons. urologists to share premises.

After a visit to the premises, Bertrand Fisset, general practitioner, at the origin of the project, recalled the three axes around which the MSP is developing: access to care, teamwork and the information system.

“These three axes made it possible to orient the MSP around three dimensions present within the structure: care with screening and prevention; teaching and finally research. »

A project on the fragility of the elderly

Concerning the dimension of care, screening and prevention, the MSP has focused its research on the fragility of the elderly.

Blandine Billet, general practitioner and teacher at the Faculty of Medicine of Rouen for interns in general medicine, is leading this research project, based on the observation that the population is aging in the region and that hospital centers are far away and difficult to access for the elderly.

“Through a geriatric assessment and a personalized plan for the elderly and the implementation of workshops, activities… we will evaluate whether the system improves the person's quality of life at home. »

If the experiment is carried out within four MSPs (Gaillon, Pont-de-l'Arche, Romilly-sur-Andelle and Charleval), the geriatric evaluation of patients will begin at the end of the year for a period of four years .

Overweight situation in children

The MSP has a screening and management program for overweight situations in children aged 3 to 12. The children have a diverse background: physiotherapy, psychology, dietetics…

“Everything is centralized. The children will benefit from all these health professionals in the same structure. Which also makes it easier for parents,” explains Bertrand Fisset. Today, around twenty children participate in this program.

Decentralized consultations

Several patients have expressed their inability to go to a consultation in Rouen for fear of taking their vehicle, leading to an increase in transport vouchers.

“We decided to bring specialists from Rouen, for decentralized consultations in the territory, in particular orthopedists. »

Through this experiment, the MSP wishes to simplify and streamline the care pathway and would like to extend it to other specialties.

“100% of doctors are internship supervisors”

The MSP also focuses on teaching to attract new trainees and establish the training path with the students.

“There is no secret, it’s part of the attractiveness. 100% of doctors are internship supervisors and 50% of doctors are involved in teaching at the University, in UMGs, departments of general medicine,” indicates Bertrand Fisset.

And Valérie Payen, director of the social center and co-president of the Armada de l'Andelle territorial professional health community, explains: “The other health professionals of the MSP also welcome trainees, not just general practitioners. » Currently, two student interns are doing their internship within the MSP for a period of 6 months.

Before closing the visit, Valérie Payen recalled the importance of the help of volunteers from social centers. “Over the year, there are more than 630 transports with the association's vehicle to take individuals to specialists. »
