[A continuing education obligation for nursing professionals]

The continuing education of health professionals, and that of self-employed professionals in particular, is a public health issue that can question competence in a chronological manner. Firstly, the past, because continuous training implies the obsolescence of certain knowledge and therefore a questioning of the skills built on the basis of knowledge that evolves with scientific discoveries. Secondly, the future, because societal changes require a permanent adjustment of the missions and interventions implemented by professionals. Between the two, there are training systems, mandatory or not, self-financed or not.
