For several weeks, the services of the Ministry of Health and Prevention have been discussing with representatives of medical regulation assistants (ARM) around better recognition of their role in our health system. Following these discussions, Aurélien Rousseau, Minister of Health and Prevention, announced new statutory and compensation measures this morning during a trip to the Val-de-Marne SAMU, at the Henri-Mondor Hospital. (Creteil).
Medical dispatch assistants (ARMs), who answer calls to 15, play a fundamental role in handling emergencies and unscheduled care, anywhere and at any time.
More generally, it is a question of continuing to support the actors and organizations enabling the management of emergencies and unscheduled care, a project which is among the priorities of the Ministry of Health and Prevention and on which the Government has been strongly committed in recent years. Concerning ARMs, the Government has chosen, in recent years, to better promote their role in the health system and to recognize them as professionals with specific skills. Thus, the resources devoted to the training of ARMs have been increased, with the creation of 19 specialized centers throughout the territory and the recognition of a work-study training course in particular. At the same time, the Government has also significantly increased the number of ARMs in the SAMU and SAS.
As an extension of these first measures, Aurélien Rousseau, Minister of Health and Prevention, has decided to take new statutory and compensation measures for medical regulation assistants:
- A significant increase in the medical regulation assistance premium : the premium which currently amounts to €120 gross per month will be increased to €220 gross per month from January 1, 2024.
- Recognition of specific paths to career advancement. ARMs will have development methods specific to their profession, allowing their specificities to be recognized and offering them prospects for favorable development for their career.
These two measures constitute, once once more, a major step forward for ARMs, which are an essential link in the relief chain. It aims to recognize their skills and specific missions in health establishments. With these announcements, we want to confirm the Government’s support for them. But our attention to the profession does not stop there: we will continue to monitor entry into training, and to evaluate the way in which all of these measures make it possible to make this profession attractive, to better meet the health needs of French. These efforts are part of the pursuit of a global plan to improve the emergency treatment and unscheduled care sector.
declared Aurélien Rousseau.
