This day finally came! One of the favorite days in the Project life is when we have an excellent opportunity to communicate openly, learn, and initiate changes with motivated medical professionals! This is how happy we feel about the beginning of the Azov School of Family Doctor 2021!<\/p>\n
You know, participation in the School is important, not only for those who were selected within the open call for applications. Our participants will continue to share educational ideas after the event, first of all among their colleagues and patients. We are delighted that our community is getting wider every year, and supporters are growing. It means that the quality of health care services will improve gradually due to the joint work!<\/p>\n
We started today\u2019s event not in a usual way. But immediately from the closed focus group on e-repository. It was valuable to hear thoughts and ideas of medical doctors about the concept itself. Here and again, we are convinced that it is important to use all available digital tools so that high-quality and up-to-date information can be quickly disseminated and securely stored.<\/p>\n
It is also worth mentioning the importance of trust at this event. We always carefully consider the formats of work and conditions in advance so that all participants feel comfortable and safe. Believe us, it helps a group of people to feel like a community. Therefore, on the first day of the School, we spent a lot of time getting to know each other and sharing experiences with colleagues from the regions during the discussion\u00a0\u201cGatekeeping during the pandemic \u2013 the best practices\u201d<\/strong>. By the way, it was very valuable to hear about the positive experience of colleagues in providing services during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n On the first day, we devoted a lot of time to the issue of the limit of declarations, increasing the number of doctors who are in favor of vaccination and evidence-based medicine. And, of course, we discussed strengthening the role of the nurse. During the panel discussion\u00a0\u201cFamily Physician and Health Care Reform: Steps Forward\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0we were talking with\u00a0Dmytro Samofalov, Ihor Zastavnyi<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Oksana Lutska<\/strong>\u00a0about the most visible changes in the last 5 years. One of the first was the issue of health care reform in rural areas. Oksana Lutska commented:\u00a0\u201cThere are a lot of problems. At present, the maintenance of the first-aid post (FAP) and a number of related issues have not been resolved. The entire burden falls on the shoulders of medical institutions. I see a solution in fully or partially transferring FAPs to the maintenance of local governments. And then, perhaps, it will be a little easier for rural medical institutions\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n
