Minor Surgery Program in a Health Centre by Antonio Masiá Alegre in Medical & Surgical Ophthalmology Research
Defined, agreed upon and even legislated in the field of primary care, why is minor surgery not a usual practice in the first level of health care? [1] We will talk about "rescuing” a family doctor's own practice and coordinating it with specialized attention to work as a team, without forgetting the important participation of nursing, looking for the quality of care and the improvement of work activity together with the satisfaction of both the user and of the professional.
Continuous training, adequate infrastructure and motivation of professionals are key. Finally, patient-medical motivation and satisfaction do not justify minor surgery on their own in primary care, but together with a precise surgical indication, safe and necessary practice, coordination with specialized care, plus scientific endorsement of what has been done and published. Until now, in addition to administrative support, they are real variables for its development and implementation [2]. Perhaps the medical super-specialization and the overloaded work schedule are two of the many reasons that have led to the practice of minor surgery in primary care reduced to simple sutures of injuries by nursing in most cases ... And It Is Not Like That
