As consultations cannot be provided in the unit, detainees are referred to the specialized services of the CHU Caen Normandie.
Prevention and health education actions are implemented with the Penitentiary Service for Integration and Probation (SPIP).
Biological examinations are carried out and sent to the relevant CHU laboratories.
The nursing staff responds to requests for care in the premises on the unit and in the cells in the event of an emergency. The secretariat allows the link with the various stakeholders and the various departments of the CHU.
