nne-Laure Lenoir graduated from the University of Liège in 2009. After a two-year assistantship, she joined the Department of General Medicine in 2011, as an assistant to Prof. Didier Giet. She is currently working on a doctoral thesis entitled "Factors of attraction and retention in the profession of general practitioner", and is also enrolled in the Formasup complementary master's program.

Attracting general practitioners

" My thesis, which I completed in 2017, is devoted to the factors that attract young GPs to the profession and keep them there..." For there is cause for concern. The register drawn up by the Walloon Region shows a real shortage of GPs in certain sectors, notably in the province of Luxembourg. INAMI forecasts also point to a serious risk of shortages throughout the country from 2030 onwards, especially in Wallonia, but also in Flanders. there are many reasons for this," continues the researcher. The rise in demographics, the increase in chronic illnesses and multi-morbidity. At the same time, many GPs are retiring, and part-time work is becoming increasingly common. Finally, many young doctors are reporting burnout Yet studies show that physician well-being could not only benefit individual doctors, but also be essential to the delivery of high-quality healthcare.

Strong primary care

Although she intends to keep her practice " to stay close to patient care ", Anne-Laure Lenoir, a part-time lecturer, is firmly committed to teaching, backed up by her research. " My aim is to show students the essential role of general medicine. The WHO recommends that health systems focus on strong primary care to be more socially relevant and responsive to change, while producing better outcomes overall. " We must therefore promote this specialization in the interests of public health.

His courses, from bac 3 to master's specialization - medical administration courses, ARC, internship debriefing, etc. - are often given to small groups. - These courses, often given to small groups, are an opportunity to draw their attention to the risk of burnout, how to deal with the psycho-social problems of their patients, and to present the assistance available to them. " Many other issues are addressed, such as access to care, which touches on medical ethics

Between classes and consultations, every year Anne-Laure Lenoir takes the opportunity to go hiking with friends. A clean break from the daily grind, far from computers and networks, to recharge her batteries and rediscover the pleasure of sport. A kind of meditation in motion..
