The power of coordination in family medicine

The first issue to be addressed is the professional and personal profile of Prof Agnieszka Mastalerz-Migas. We will hear about her role as a specialist in family medicine, her work at the Medical University of Wrocław, as well as her current roles as a national consultant and president of the Polish Society of Family Medicine. There will also be references to her interests in sport and literature, which complement her rich personal life.

The interviewees will then focus on the role of family medicine in Poland. They will discuss the essence of the work of family doctors in the healthcare system, how they affect patients' lives and how they differ from other doctors working in primary care. The interviewees will also touch on the difficulties associated with the shortage of medical staff, which pose a challenge for family medicine in Poland.

The next section will discuss the changes taking place in family medicine in Poland. Professor Mastalerz-Migas will share her insights on the changes in the specialisation programme for family doctors and the introduction of coordinated care for patients with chronic conditions. This will be extremely valuable information for all those interested in the development of healthcare in Poland.

Prof Mastalerz-Migas' role as a national consultant will also be an important aspect of the talk. We will learn what the duties and tasks of a national consultant are, what their competences are and how they influence the operation of the healthcare system. This will be of great importance to all those interested in the organisation and functioning of the health service in Poland.

At the end of the interview, the topic of Prof Agnieszka Mastalerz-Migas' balancing of multiple professional roles will be touched upon and how she copes with challenges, especially during a pandemic. It will be interesting to hear how an eminent professional manages her time effectively and looks after her wellbeing.

We would like to invite all listeners to listen to the latest episode of the podcast 'Firstly the Patient', which will be available on Wednesday, 21 June. It will be an extremely valuable conversation for patients and healthcare professionals to better understand the role of family medicine and coordinated care in Poland.
