Sauvegarder les qualifications des infirmiers de bloc opératoire
This is an ordinary bill proposal (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 17th legislature (2022-2024). Its French title refers to safeguarding the qualifications of operating theatre nurses (infirmiers de bloc opératoire, often called IBODE). Such bills typically address how nursing qualifications are recognised, protected or regulated within the health system. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text, so the specific measures are not confirmed here. The bill most directly concerns operating theatre nurses, who work in surgical teams, and the hospitals and clinics that employ them. Patients and the wider health workforce may also be affected if the proposal changes how these qualifications are recognised or used.
