MoCA use in general practice for the early detection of cognitive impairment.

Background: GPs can detect cognitive impairment at a very early stage, allowing early support for people and their caregivers. The early onset of cognitive impairment is between 50 and 60 years. Currently, in France, the Mini Mental State Examination remains the most used screening test, though it has a lower sensitivity and specificity than the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for detecting mild cognitive impairment, taking an average of 15 minutes to complete.

Medical tourism for late abortion: Women's profile and circumstances. A quantitative study among women who travelled within Europe for late abortion.

Background: In France, women seeking abortion must do so before the maximum legal limit of 12 weeks of pregnancy (14 Gestational Weeks). Women seeking abortion after the 12-week limit tend to travel to the Netherlands, where the maximum legal limit is 22 weeks of pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to identify the profile and circumstances of women who travel from France to the Netherlands for a late abortion.

A face-to-face national congress experience during the COVID-19 pandemic: A report focussing on the risk of COVID-19 contamination.

Background: The Congress of the National College of Academic General Practitioners took place in France in June 2021. In total, 1300 participants were registered, provoking concerns about the risk of COVID-19 contamination.

Objectives: The study objective was to report participation in the first French face-to-face medical congress after restrictions due to COVID-19 and whether it resulted in COVID-19 contamination.

Relationship between training supervision and evolution of the density of GPs: a 3-year cohort study on French cities between 2018 and 2021.

Context: There is an uneven distribution of general practitioners (GPs) across territories of developed countries leading to inequalities in access to health care. Countries are implementing incentive or coercive policies depending on the characteristics of their health system. Several studies suggest that the location of practical training may influence the location of GPs' practices.
