The competence centres are the regional referents of the coordinating centre for the diseases covered, creating a national network. They provide care and follow-up for patients, close to their homes, and perform all the missions of the reference centres. Patients are treated in the same way throughout France.
In 2023, 10 Spin@ competence centres have been accredited by the French Ministry of Health and Solidarity: Paris (Rothschild Hospital), Angers, Nantes, Paris (Tenon Hospital), Saint-Maurice, Nice, Rouen, Strasbourg, Lyon and Paris (Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital).
