A text adopted discreetly by the government would allow it, according to Internet users, to "renew or withdraw the right to practice doctors who do not obey".
While an ordinance of July 2021 does establish a National Council for Periodic Certification (CNCP) from 2023, its missions are in no way intended to control the activity of health professionals.

takes stock of the measures provided for by the text.
" VERY SERIOUS.
By decree passed on the sly, Macron and Véran create "the National Certification Council", submitted to the government, to renew or withdraw the right to practice doctors who do not obey ".
According to this disturbing alert relayed on social networks, the government would have taken advantage of the summer lull to legally "muzzle" the word and actions of health professionals - in particular on controversial subjects such as the alleged treatments against Covid-19 .

But if a National Council for Periodic Certification (CNCP) was indeed created by an ordinance dated July 19, 2021, a simple reading of the latter reveals that its mission is very different from that attributed to it by these Internet users.
FAKE OFF
This text, which will apply from January 1, 2023, concerns the medical professions (doctor, dentist, midwife, pharmacist) and paramedical (nurse, masseur-physiotherapist, pedicure-podiatrist).
According to the amendments thus made to the Public Health Code, and in particular its article L. 4022-5, “the National Council for Periodic Certification is responsible, with the Minister responsible for Health, for defining the strategy, the deployment and the promotion of periodic certification ”.
This aims to “guarantee the maintenance of skills, the quality of professional practices [and] updating and the level of knowledge. "In practice, health professionals should" have carried out a minimum program of actions over a period of six years aimed at updating their knowledge and skills, strengthening the quality of their professional practices, improving relations with their patients [and] take better account of their personal health ”.
They will also be free to choose the “actions provided for in the periodical certification reference system” that they intend to carry out during this period.
The control of this certification will be ensured by the national orders concerned (doctors, nurses ...), in the same way as the possible sanctions in the event of failure to comply with the obligation, which may fall under the "disciplinary sanction". ordinal ”or a“ temporary suspension of practice for professional incompetence.

A period of 9 years for practicing professionals in 2023
"Periodic certification is a tool [...] which constitutes an additional guarantee of the safety and quality of the care provided. It is therefore a tool at the service of patients ", indicates the National Order of Nurses at
20 Minutes
, while providing, on its site, a precision of size:" The device applies from January 1 2023 but health professionals in practice on that date will have a period of 9 years to complete their first certification period. "
Finally, as specified in Article L.4022-4 of the Public Health Code - and as detailed in a future decree - certain categories of professionals may be exempt from this obligation: those not exercising their activity directly with patients, those who are subject to specific training obligations or those not registered with the order of their profession.
