Introduction : Le taux d’occupation des lignes téléphoniques d’un Samu-Centre 15 conditionne la fluidité de la gestion des appels et donc sa capacité de répondre à l’urgence. La disponibilité des assistants de régulation médicale (ARM) et des médecins régulateurs est déterminante. Nous nous sommes interrogés sur l’impact du nombre d’ARM sur la prise en charge des appels d’un Samu-Centre 15. Méthodes : Le taux d’appels raccrochés (par l’appelant) après 15 secondes a été retenu comme critère de jugement principal. Il a été analysé en fonction de l’effectif « réel » d’ARM. L’effectif théorique d’ARM a été pris comme référence. Deux analyses ont été réalisées, la première portant sur 672 périodes d’un quart d’heure de la semaine 51 de l’année 2016 (en période d’épidémie de grippe) et la seconde sur 3 624 périodes d’une heure sur les cinq premiers mois de l’année 2017. Résultats : Sur la première période, le nombre médian d’appels raccrochés après 15 secondes était de 1 (0–3) par quart d’heure. Il variait de 0 (0–1) à 3 (1–5) selon l’effectif d’ARM auquel il était parfaitement inversement corrélé (p < 0,001). Sur la seconde période, le nombre médian d’appels raccrochés était de 4 (1–8) par heure. Il variait de 2 (1–6) à 10 (6–16) selon l’effectif d’ARM auquel il était parfaitement inversement corrélé (p < 0,001). Conclusion : Le taux d’appels raccrochés après 15 secondes était parfaitement corrélé à l’effectif (plus précisément au sous-effectif) d’ARM. Sur une année, le nombre estimé d’appels perdus ainsi était proche de 50 000 ! Prendre en considération l’effectif des ARM est une nécessité absolue.

“…Whilst education and knowledge is an important aspect of this preparedness, it has a limited impact if the individual paramedic is unwilling to respond to a real-life event. The concept of 'willingness to work' is recognised within the health-care literature (Rutkow et al, 2014. Arbon et al, 2013.…”

I dedicate this thesis to my Nan and Grandad Woodward, whose personal tales of nursing captured my imagination as a child. Their passion for this profession was infectious and inspired me, from a young age, to become a Registered Nurse. 4 DeclarationThis thesis is submitted to the University of Warwick in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It has been composed by myself and has not been submitted in any previous application for any degrees.The work presented (including data generated and data analysis) was carried out by the author.

“…Health infrastructure includes not only the physical structures of public health agencies, clinics and hospitals and the human resources to operate them, but also countries’ legal infrastructure – the laws and policies that empower, obligate and limit government and private action concerning health. A health emergency tests how effectively regulatory strategies, social contract principles and human rights norms have been embodied in the written laws of a country, and how closely, in turn, those legal embodiments guide action 7 , 8 . Disease outbreaks, for example, require a wide range of actions (e.g.…”

National public health law: a role for WHO in capacity-building and promoting transparency

A robust health infrastructure in every country is the most effective long-term preparedness strategy for global health emergencies. This includes not only health systems and their human resources, but also countries’ legal infrastructure for health: the laws and policies that empower, obligate and sometimes limit government and private action. The law is also an important tool in health promotion and protection. Public health professionals play important roles in health law – from the development of policies, through their enforcement, to the scientific evaluation of the health impact of laws. Member States are already mandated to communicate their national health laws and regulations to the World Health Organization (WHO). In this paper we propose that WHO has the authority and credibility to support capacity-building in the area of health law within Member States, and to make national laws easier to access, understand, monitor and evaluate. We believe a strong case can be made to donors for the funding of a public health law centre or unit, that has adequate staffing, is robustly networked with its regional counterparts and is integrated into the main work of WHO. The mission of the unit or centre would be to define and integrate scientific and legal expertise in public health law, both technical and programmatic, across the work of WHO, and to conduct and facilitate global health policy surveillance.
