[Creation of an inter-sector COVID-19 care unit for psychiatric patients]. / Mise en place d'une unité de soins Covid-19 intersectorielle dédiée aux patients de psychiatrie.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 health crisis forced Charles-Perrens General Hospital in Bordeaux to convert a conventional psychiatric unit into a specific unit to care for patients with mental disorders who are potentially infected with the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Resources and competences from across the hospital were mobilised to enable the unit's health professionals to accomplish this mission. This article looks back at the experience.
