French Public Health Code
In forceHospital practitioners may, with the agreement of the director of the health establishment, on the proposal of the head of department or, failing that, the head of the internal structure and after consultation with the head of the department, carry out activities outside the establishment to which they are assigned, up to a limit of:
1° A maximum of two half-days per week on average over the four-month period for practitioners working full-time;
2° An average of one half-day per week over the four-month period for practitioners working eight or nine half-days per week.
These activities must be of general interest in terms of care, teaching, research, vigilance, networking, consultancy or support for public administrations, including public health establishments, for private establishments authorised to provide the public hospital service, for an army hospital or for non-profit organisations of general interest contributing to care or its organisation.
They may give rise to remuneration.
An agreement between the establishment to which the patient is assigned and the host organisations defines the conditions under which this activity is carried out and remunerated and provides, where applicable, for the total or partial reimbursement of emoluments paid by the health establishment.
