Centre hospitalier universitaire de Toulouse

It organizes or participates in collective information campaigns for the general public through coordinated actions with the associative network (HIV seropositivity, drug addiction, smoking cessation, cardiovascular risks, social medicine).

The CHU of Toulouse also plays an important role in continuing education by regularly organizing post-university teaching sessions for medical personnel and other healthcare professionals, both hospital-based and non-hospital-based.

It is the only CHU in the new Occitanie Ouest region, which means it is solely responsible for specialized care, representing fifty percent of its activity.

This collaboration between a public and a private institution strengthens the quality of care in the Occitanie Ouest region by providing patients with the best expertise close to their homes.

[6] The Toulouse CHU has expertise in telemedicine, which allows easier access to care for isolated individuals or those with mobility difficulties, thanks to innovative communication technologies and collaboration with healthcare professionals (general practitioners, specialists, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists).

The executive board is chaired by the director, with the president of the Medical Establishment Commission serving as the vice-president.

The members of the executive board come from CHU personnel, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, midwives, and dentists.

The CHU also has consultative bodies: The Central Hospital University (CHU) of Toulouse is structured around three main categories of activity poles:[8] • Biology • Operating Rooms • Medical Imaging • Pharmacy • Public Health and Social Medicine • Anesthesia and Intensive Care • Cardiovascular and Metabolic • Cephalic • Respiratory Tract Clinic • Pediatrics • Women, Maternity, and Couples • Geriatrics • Digestive System • Inflammation, Infection, Immunology, and Musculoskeletal • Cancer University Institute (IUC): Oncopole CHU • Emergency Medicine • Neuroscience • Psychiatry • Urology and Nephrology • Medical Affairs, Regional Hospital Group (GHT), and Territorial Cooperations • Human Resources and Care • Financial Resources and Information System • Material Resources There are thirty CHUs in France.

In its report of December 17, 2018, the Court of Auditors noted that their care mission is carried out in a heterogeneous manner in terms of volume, activity, or types of procedures and does not always distinguish CHUs from other general hospitals.

Every day, this center provides assistance to sailors navigating the seas and oceans worldwide in case of health issues or accidents, using radio communications that allow the transmission of sound and video.
