202 unallocated family medicine positions “having an impact on current and future human resources”
Madrid, May 10. (Press Europe) –
The National Young Physicians Section of the General Council of Physicians (CGCOM) has called for implementation of a “trauma plan” to improve conditions for primary care physicians and improve the appeal of family and community medicine, as well as hard-to-cover places.
That’s how CGCOM announced itself in a report after learning this week that there were 202 family and community medicine vacancies in this year’s MIR job allocation, which just ended, with numbers similar to those of previous years. Now, an extraordinary call must be made to try and cover it.
However, this vacancy situation is not a new problem as it has already occurred in the 2007, 2008 and 2014 calls, as reported by CGCOM.
“The existence of a large number of places that are not awarded have an impact on the current and future human resources of the national health system that deserves in-depth study and analysis,” lamented the National Representative of Young Physicians from CGCOM, Domingo Antonio Sanchez, through a statement.
For this reason, CGCOM has prepared this report which warns of the current “deficit trend” of the medical demography in Spain, the situation of primary care and other specialties, working conditions in the collegiate MIR, and the system for choosing places in specialized health. Training (FSE), the “non-takeover” phenomenon, resignation of MIR positions and the problem of hard-to-fill positions and its relationship to vacancies.
Thus, they “clearly” see the need for various measures, such as the creation of a working group between the collegiate medical organization and the Ministry of Health to address the problem, and a system to ensure the quality of specialized health training that “a comprehensive approach to the work environment of these professionals in training”.
The report notes that it is necessary to “improve professional satisfaction rates, and address physical working conditions”. “If it is not modified, there are signs that the already devastating situation of human resource planning will only worsen,” the doctors warned.
Another problem that the CGCOM considers “could jeopardize” human resources in the National Health System (SNS) is resignations and under-tenure of professionals who have been given a position to enter the specialist field. health training system.
They warned that “this is a problem whose current situation is exacerbated with the change of the paradigm from the electoral system to the separation system, as evidenced by the results of recent calls.”
At the same time, they criticize that the “non-compliance” with work regulations and the “overburden” of work to which residents of certain services are subject “is also a factor that can lead to an increase in the resignation of places”, argue about.
Other factors that can affect the process are “from problems of adaptation in the services where a place has been given to serious problems of training and teaching in the units in which the teaching takes place”.
