| dc.description.abstract | INTRODUCTION: On September 2016, the Board of the College of Endocrinology and Nutrition of the Portuguese Medical Association carried out a national survey, about all Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Departments of the public hospitals included in the Portuguese National Health Service and a simplified version of this survey was sent to all endocrinologists working in Portugal and registered with the Portuguese Medical Association. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data related to organizational and human resources were collected, reporting the situation by the end of year 2015. The census registered 107 individuals and 27 Departments. RESULTS: The ratio of endocrinologists-population was 1.4, much lower than in the other European countries (varies between 2 to 4), resulting in alarming shortages of services in some areas of Portugal and in worse quality indicators. DISCUSSION: These data suggest that actions should be taken to increase the number of endocrinologists and departments in the country. CONCLUSION: In recent years, the number of residents has significantly increased, which will make it possible to correct this situation | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | Introdução: A Direção do Colégio de Endocrinologia e Nutrição da Ordem dos Médicos realizou um inquérito nacional em setembro de 2016, a todos os serviços de Endocrinologia, Diabetes e Metabolismo dos hospitais do Serviço Nacional de Saúde e uma versão simplificada do mesmo foi enviada a todos os endocrinologistas a trabalhar em Portugal e inscritos no colégio. Material e Métodos: O censo inclui dados organizacionais e de recursos humanos relativos ao fim do ano de 2015. Registou 107 respostas individuais e 27 serviços. Resultados: O ratio de endocrinologistas por 100 000 habitantes era de 1,4, muito inferior a outros países europeus (varia de 2 a 4), que resulta numa carência grave de serviços em algumas zonas do País e em piores indicadores de qualidade. Discussão: Estes dados indicam que devem ser implementadas medidas para aumentar o número de endocrinologistas e serviços em Portugal. Conclusão: Nos últimos anos, o número de internos tem vindo a aumentar, o que vai permitir melhorar esta situação. | pt_PT |
