In forceI. - The nominative lists referred to in article L. 4321-10 group together the masseur-physiotherapists who hold the evidence of formal qualifications or authorisation to practise required to practise the profession, and who are employed by public or private organisations.
These lists are made up of the following identification data:
1° The full name of the professional concerned ;
2° The last correspondence address of the professional held by the establishment;
3° The date and place of birth of the professional;
4° The date and place of issue of the training certificate or authorisation to practise issued to the professional.
5° The electronic address at which the professional wishes to be contacted by the order for the transmission of the information provided for in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of II of this article and to meet the requirements of article L. 4001-2 of the Public Health Code;
This information is sent, by the public or private organisations employing masseur-physiotherapists, to the departmental council of the order of masseur-physiotherapists within whose jurisdiction they are located, by electronic means, no later than the 15th of the first month of each calendar quarter. It is sent to the persons authorised by the departmental council to manage the register under conditions that guarantee the confidentiality of the data collected. The format of the file containing this information is validated by the public interest group mentioned in article L. 1111-24.
The professional concerned will be informed in advance of any initial transmission of this identification data.
II. - On the basis of the information provided, the departmental council of the professional body will identify those masseur-physiotherapists who are not registered on the roll and will proceed with their provisional registration pending communication of the documents required to examine the case.
The Departmental Council informs the professional and the structure of this provisional registration without delay and provides a list of the documents to be provided by the masseur-physiotherapist concerned, within a period of three months, with a view to his or her registration on the register. These documents are those listed in article R. 4112-1, subject to the modifications provided for in the second and third paragraphs of article R. 4323-1.
If the complete file is not sent within three months, the departmental council of the professional body will inform the professional, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, that it is unable to verify the conditions required for definitive registration on the roll of the professional body and that, if the professional does not provide the requested documents within one month, his provisional registration will automatically be terminated. The departmental council will also inform the public or private organisation employing the masseur-physiotherapist, as well as the national council. The departmental council will no longer be able to implement this provisional registration procedure for the professional concerned.
III. - On receipt of the documents within the required timeframe, and within three months of this date, the departmental council will examine the application and take a decision in accordance with the conditions and procedures laid down in article R. 4112-2.
The decision taken by the Departmental Council is notified to the masseur-physiotherapist under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in article R. 4112-4. It is also notified to the public or private organisation that employs the masseur-physiotherapist concerned.
