Regarding the reports OF politicians DUE TO STAFF SHORTAGES IN SOME DEPARTMENTS OF SANTA SCUOLASTICA.
We thank very much all those who are interested in any deficiencies in sanitary organic plants. Indeed, as has been said many times, it is not easy to do healthcare where it is difficult to find staff.
However, our problem is not alarming except for some specialties of which we are now well aware: orthopaedics, psychiatry, anaesthesia and emergency. The theme is national. They are missing everywhere, clearly it is even more difficult for us. We never give up and above all we operate concretely without wasting time.
However, it takes two minutes to prevent many journalistic discussions from alarming the population: the Asl of Frosinone has long been committed to solving the shortage of medical personnel. Despite the pandemic we have continued in this direction and in the last 2 years 201 units have been hired.
Good management and attention will always continue with the concrete work of the offices.
A sense of duty on the part of all is increasingly desired, concreteness of actions in support of health also with correct information to citizens. We are also improving the quality of performance with courses and training through the collaboration of the entire company.
It is not easy to manage provincial health care that is less attractive to young people and also with very high litigation that worries new doctors, who would like to find situations with less pressure from the system during the course of their profession.
However, today, the company is certainly more attractive and the emergency is over. It is hoped that orthopedists and neuropsychiatrists (increasingly rare) can choose it as many have done.
These days a competition is being held for the indefinite recruitment of additional laboratory technicians, radiology technicians and dietitians.
From next April 16, additional Socio-Health Operators (OSS) will take up service, while new figures are being recruited through the regional rankings.
For specialties where there is currently a shortage of doctors, the ASL has requested competitions through which to recruit the necessary health personnel to be made available to the departments.
A commitment, that of the Local Health Authority, which therefore systematically deals with the atavistic difficulties in finding specialized personnel willing to accept to work in provincial public hospitals.
Dr. Pietro Dalla Vedova, Director of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of the Santa Scolastica di Cassino emphasizes precisely this aspect:
“We are in a time of shortage, we cannot find doctors willing to work in public hospitals. The difficulty in finding orthopaedics is found throughout Italy and weighs particularly on the provinces. The recent expression of interest was also unsuccessful.
Our department offers many services: 16 inpatient beds, three weekly operating room shifts, trauma emergency room, institutional surgery and night availability.
Despite the reduced surgical staff, our department manages to innovate: two days ago the first reverse shoulder prosthesis navigated to a 79-year-old patient from Cassino suffering from recurrent dislocation was implanted “.
