Annex 1
Review of national educational activities
after EURACT Council meeting
in Vilnius, 2003
EURACT Council meeting
September 10-13, 2003
Leicester, United Kingdom
CZECH REPUBLIC
BME
There are no core changes in BME since May 2003. General practice is the subject
of teaching at all seven Medical Schools in Czech Republic but in different
extend and in different school years.
VT
The system of VT is the same. What is important is the conclusion of
wide discussion about the institution of Family Doctor. This discussion was
running among professional bodies in General Practice, Ministry of Health, GPs
and patients. Common statement is as follows:
- current system of divided primary care with divided competencies and age
categories of patients will still exist in near future. It means – GPs for
adults, GPs for children, gynecologists in primary care.
- the institution of Family Doctor will be developed as a new discipline
for:
- those GPs who are interested in it and need it for their work in some regions
(e.g. rural regions)
- making possible free movement of physicians in countries of EU
- having measurement for FDs from countries of EU
There is no social order from patients and no professional necessity from the
side of GPs and GP societies to establish FD via retraining all GPs in short time
now. The level of providing primary care is not bad, it is comparable to this
in European countries. We must also respect the wishes of patients. In many families
each member has his/her own different GP and parents are used to go to GPs for
children with their child. Despite, we will start with working on VT for FD soon.
CME
High level of all educational activities assigned by credits and certificates.
Big interest of GPs. Still no recertification system.
Some main problems
- no gate keeping
- assessment of quality of care on professional level is missing
- easy access to secondary care
- expensive care
- less of money to primary care
- primary care is the basis of health care but ( it seems) in written statements
only
What I have done as a Euract Council member in the last period?
- translation and distribution of Wonca Document to all Medical Schools and
to important persons as the basis for teaching
- leading the discussion via e-mail about this document with other Euract
members and GP teachers
- information about Euract working agenda to all Euract members
- preparation of regular Annual meeting of all GP Departments Representatives
in the end of September in Brno
- preliminary preparation CZ-SL meeting in Spring 2005 and consultation with
important person in this matter
- distribution of CME booklets
- general promotion of Euract as organisation and its importance for teaching
GP/FM in CR when the institution of FD is still missing (Conference in Brno
in September)
