The implementation of the national policy of permanent education in health as seen by the actors that build it

Abstract

Under the aegis of the restarting movement of the policy of Permanent Education in Health (CEH), this study gives voice to the actors that promote it, in order to understand the factors that favored or hindered its implementation. Through a focus group of 14 key informants, it was evidenced that the transfer of resources and collegiate spaces are elements that favor the implementation of the policy and need to be ensured. At the same time, challenges that need to be overcome are the conceptual misalignment of what CEH is and the fragmentation of policy actions and areas. Putting Permanent Education policy as a priority on the Health Education agenda is the most important and, at the same time, the most challenging factor for its implementation.
