During the summer period, the emergency services are particularly under pressure: fewer staff and/or more patients.
Also, in order to limit the use of emergencies, the Ministry of Health and Prevention presents you with alternative solutions.
Throughout the year, and even more so during the summer, it is important not to overload the emergency services so that these services remain available to receive the most serious cases and to direct the people who have need care.
Apart from serious situations requiring emergency care, several alternatives exist before going to the emergency room :
- Call your attending physician : during the day, he will be able to receive you or direct you as best as possible to a place of care that can take care of you.
- Consult the map of treatment sites available on Santé.fr : this map lists the non-scheduled places of care that can accommodate you during the week or the weekend, during the day or in the evening.
- Call 15, or 114 for the hearing impaired : a medical regulation assistant, who has expertise in qualifying calls, can tell you what to do, put you in touch with a doctor and direct you to the most suitable structures.
- Find a teleconsultation appointment : Medical appointments may be available nearby or in another city.
The map of care sites
Developed by the Government website Santé.fr and supplied with the assistance of the regional health agencies (ARS), this map lists in each region offering unscheduled care consultations:
- Health centers and multi-professional health centers (MSP);
- On-call medical homes;
- Unscheduled care centers;
- As well as certain medical practices for certain evenings and/or weekends.
In the blink of an eye, discover the places of care referenced around you, and thus easily find a structure that can take care of you quickly.
