The first working meeting was held in Grude with representatives of the Primary Health Care Centers Ljubuski, Posusje, Grude and Siroki Brijeg. Tomislav Pejic, Minister of Health, Labor and Social Welfare of the West Herzegovina Canton, also attended the meeting.

Discussion evolved around piloting of the book of professional competencies in health care in Primary Health Care Centers in the above mentioned municipalities. The book was developed at the end of Phase 2 of the project. Piloting involves harmonization of the systematization of job positions and job descriptions within institutions with the book of competencies developed by experts and the Federal Ministry of Health with the support of the Project and the Fami Foundation.

In the coming period, a working group that will work on harmonization of systematization and descriptions of job positions within health care institutions will be nominated

The lectures were held by Docent Dr Ivona Ljevak from the Nursing Faculty of the University of Mostar and Verica Cavar, Head Nurse at Primary Health Care Center Livno. They had already harmonized their job positions’ and job descriptions’ systematization with the Book of Competences, and were able to share an example of good practice.
