Hospital Medical Practitioners

As a privileged partner of the APPA (Association pour les praticiens hospitaliers et assimilés or Hospital Medical Practitioners Association), Bessé has been assisting hospital medical practitioners for nearly 40 years now by designing and handling their welfare benefit schemes.

Take a look at the APPA website

Our partnership with the vast majority of hospitals throughout the land provides us with unique legitimacy and know-how, which we devote to the 40 000 interns and 55 000 hospital and assimilated medical practitioners who look after patients in France every day.

APPA presents “Coup de Blouse” for carers

60% of healthcare professionals say they suffer at work. Even more worrying is the suicide rate among doctors, which is 1.41 times higher than among the population as a whole.

“With this new platform, APPA (French association for hospital practitioners and assimilated) aims to encourage people to speak out on the topic of suffering at work to be able to provide better protection for practitioners and future doctors, while helping to raise awareness of the problems and bring about changes. “Coup de Blouse” is the first information and prevention platform on suffering at work for interns, hospital practitioners and their loved ones. Fully funded by APPA, it illustrates the association’s ambitions to raise awareness of the risks and ensure constant adaptation to their new healthcare problems. APPA thus reasserts its commitment to the issue of suffering at work, a genuine concern among practitioners, to promote quality of care and the appeal of hospital work for the future generations of doctors.”
Dr Jean-Pierre Provoost, President of APPA

A medical practitioner’s task is complex and multifaceted

This is a rapidly changing environment:

There are not enough young doctors and great changes are taking place as far as medical internships are concerned.
The public authorities need to be urged to make hospital careers more attractive.
Although technology brings with it tremendous progress, it also brings profound change to the profession.

Career paths for medical professionals are becoming less linear. The young generations choose to work in public hospitals, local surgeries or clinics whereas the previous generations usually only chose a single career path. There are many different statuses, i.e. clinical director, professor of medicine, medical assistant, hospital or private medical practitioner, consultant, etc..

As far as welfare benefits are concerned, each situation is different and is not covered in the same way when it comes to work incapacity or disability.
