Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the latest coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, to be a pandemic. Due to this, the Legouest Military Training Hospital (HIAL) in Metz had to urgently reconfigure itself. On March 19, 2020, the HIAL created a support unit to respond to the ethical challenges of the health crisis, described in the National Consultative Ethics Committee's report of March 13, 2020. The HIAL management chose the head of the hospital's psychiatry service to lead this ethical support unit (CSEt). We share here the practical experience of the actions and work of the CSEt. We also develop some reflection on the place of the psychiatrist in such an ethical support unit. Indeed, the management of a structure dedicated to ethics requires a unique positioning.
