The Congress of Family Medicine is one of the most prestigious and popular scientific and training meetings in Poland addressed to the community of family physicians. The 22nd edition of the congress will be held June 13-16 this year in Warsaw. As in previous years, the congress will be held in a hybrid format.
The program includes 2 plenary sessions, 12 lecture sessions, 3 scientific sessions and 9 workshops. This year's topics will include issues in vaccination, infectious diseases, STDs, end-of-life care at home and newborns born close to term, and much, much more.
The topics of issues of the 22nd Congress of Family Medicine correspond to the complexity of the process of patient care in the family physician's office. During the congress sessions, aspects such as infections and infectious diseases as an important problem in the daily practice of a family physician will be discussed; the alleviation of annoying symptoms in the patient at the end of life at home; vaccination as a challenge for society and physicians; headaches and facial pain in the practice of a family physician.In terms of the topic of vaccination, speakers want to devote a lot of time to communication with the patient: how to talk to the patient in order to convince him or her to receive immunizations and systematically keep an eye on the vaccination calendar. Family medicine specialists realize that it is on their shoulders to dispel myths created by anti-vaccine movements and spread through social media. The organizers assure that they will equip colleagues with the necessary communication tools to make the topic of vaccination no longer taboo.
Another issue worthy of family physicians' attention is joint and bone diseases. These conditions are at the forefront of problems reported by patients in the primary care office. Congress attendees will have the opportunity to explore the topic in depth to provide professional help in the early stages of the disease, as well as relieve pain in the advanced stages.
