It is through the prism of the evolution of the profession of director that the regional delegation of the association of hospital directors gathered its troops in Narbonne, at the Château de Montplaisir on Friday 2 June.
ADH Occitanie, presented as a laboratory of ideas at the service of patients, accused the Covid of having had a storm effect on the hospital. “In 2018, we said end to the budget plane and we were collectively heard, the government financially supported the public hospital, on the investment thanks to the Ségur bonus ” details the president of the Association of Hospital Directors, Vincent Prevoteau, director of the CH of Rodez and Decazeville. “We cannot establish a regional map in terms of recruitment, it is case by case depending on the establishments. For example in Aveyron, the director of care has carte blanche, I have created a hundred positions” . Rising against the systematic denigration, the president insisted on the tools available to the hospital to recruit, citing “benefit contracts have helped young caregivers and nurses”. He rocks “we are in a constructive logic, on a ground of innovation” , doing a job”meaning, commitment, value, with this omnipresent notion of public service”.
“Money is not everything… the body is exhausted”
Carole Cabié, deputy director of the Narbonne hospital, unveiled the results of a survey carried out widely on the causes of the mass resignations experienced during and after the Covid : “there is a fed up motivating a retraining project, a desire to cut with this environment. We can also evoke an organizational reason: departures are due to callbacks during weekends, time constraints, like nights… Even if overtime has been compensated and salaries increased thanks to the Segur bonus, money is not everything, the body is exhausted”. In Narbonne, 30 state-certified nursing positions are vacant and 120 at the Montpellier University Hospital. But the HRD assures us: “They will come back, they are still caregivers, we form a body, a family. “This day had the merit of putting things straight:”It’s up to us to adapt to caregivers, and to innovate to bring them back… and make them want to stay”.
