Aim: During an exercise-related sudden cardiac arrest, bystander automated external defibrillator use occurred in a median of 31%. The present study conducted in France evaluated the feasibility and impact of a brief intervention by general practitioners (GPs) to increase awareness about first aid/CPR training among amateur sportspeople.
Methods: In 2018, 49 French GPs proposed a brief intervention to all patients who attended a consultation in order to obtain a medical certificate attesting their fitness to participate in sports.
Purpose: The patient partner in teaching method is progressively developing for clinical training in France. Practice exchange groups (PEG) co-facilitated by patient partners in teaching are used during the training of family medicine (FM) residents. This study explored the FM residents' perspectives about patient partner in teaching's participation in co-facilitated PEGs and how they changed over time.

However, few studies have objectively investigated current practices and the obstacles to patient engagement from the point of view of medical educators.
Purpose Of Research: This study aimed at investigating medical educators' practices regarding patient engagement, and their expectations and self reported obstacles.
Introduction: Established in France since 2018, the Student Health Service aims to train students to become actors in health education.
Methods And Results: A teaching system lasting the equivalent of six weeks full-time has been set up in the third year of medical school in Rennes. The aim is for students to develop the skills needed to carry out interventions based on a project approach, with a variety of audiences, on priority public health themes.
Background: Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is an effective intervention for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); nevertheless, patient participation in this type of programme is low. Implementation of DSME programmes in primary care practices by the local multi-professional team is a potential strategy to improve access to DSME for T2DM patients. The aim of this study was to identify perceived facilitators and barriers by patients to participation in local DSME delivered by primary care professionals in France.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of prevention in terms of time by estimating the time necessary to perform all of the preventive care recommended, separately from the PCPs and patient's perspectives, and to compare them to the amount of time available.
