Presentation summary

As an acupuncturist at Caen University Hospital, I see patients in various settings such as consultations, day hospitalisations and conventional hospitalisations.
My time is divided between Chronic Pain Centre, Mobile Pain and Palliative Care Team and Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Therefore, I cooperate with different teams and benefit from my medical and paramedicalcolleagues’assessments, especially in complex palliative care or chronic pain situations. The variety and cross-disciplinary nature of my work also means that I can follow patients’care on a more global scale.

Morever, 3 other certified midwives carry out acupuncture consultations and all midwives have at least some knowledge of acupuncture at the Maternity Hospital.

Caen is located in the Calvados departement of Normandy.
