[How we health workers see the foreseeable future of our work in health centers].
OBJECTIVE
To find the view of health professionals on how their work in health centres will evolve in the immediate future.


METHODS
A qualitative study of discussion groups.


METHODS
Primary care.


METHODS
28 primary care professionals, distributed in four independent groups, of seven doctors, seven paediatricians, seven nurses and seen coordinators.


RESULTS
The data analysis studied the most commonly used words, concepts and sentences in an attempt to identify the basic ideas. We had to distinguish the assessments made of primary/specialist coordination, the doctor-patient relationship and ongoing training. We noted the high motivation of all those taking part except the nursing group which was frankly disillusioned.


CONCLUSIONS
The primary/specialist relationship has to improve. Consideration given to communication with the patient/user and the family should increase, and bureaucracy decrease. Ongoing training must be an essential axis of development, enabling staff to adapt to new changes. Health staff sees increases in the future in preventive activities.
