An increase in remuneration of around 25%.

A decree revaluing the amount of on-call work carried out during the week and at weekends by some 30,000 medical interns was published on Saturday.

Negotiated during the Ségur de la santé, this upgrading, which should make it possible to perpetuate medical studies and "convince young people to get involved", will come into force tomorrow, Sunday.

According to figures communicated by the Ministry of Health and Solidarity in 

, medical interns receive a lump sum of 119 euros gross for each night shift performed during the week and 130 euros gross for guards insured on weekends and holidays.

From Sunday, these two remunerations will be revalued to the tune of approximately 25%.

On-call duty during the week will be paid 149 euros gross and those on weekends and holidays, 163 euros gross.

Following the Ségur de la santé, the government has already approved “the increase in basic remuneration for interns and junior doctors in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry”, as our colleagues from Le

remind us

.

This increase will also come into effect on November 1.
