A dire situation for all official institutions responsible for oral health and dentistry in Portugal, from the President, the various governments, all parties of the National Assembly (from the right-wing parties until all parties of the left) and several organizations representing dentists and dentists doctors.
It is a CLOSED PLOT where everyone put their interests above the interests of the portuguese population, spending many hundreds of tax euro million who works in Portugal to form candidates experts to emigrate abroad and to address the health people who did not contribute to the training of dentists, doctors and dentists Portuguese oral hygienists.
Portugal remains in a world of interests that benefit some harming the majority of the population. Portugal lives a stupidly sick democracy.
More and more dentists leaving Portugal.After six months without finding work in Portugal, Marina Alves decided to try his luck in England. It is one of about 500 dentists who have been to that country in search of better conditions of employment. A leak that has grown in recent years and is to attract the most experienced professionals. In England, the Portuguese already account for 7% of dentists.
Are the situations of eternal green receipts and the fact that there is a public service that offers these services to people and the private sector is saturated. Patients can not afford to pay, and the number of visits decreased, says Marina Alves, 27 years old, told the Jornal de Notícias. For two years, she is working in England, where there are 500 Portuguese between 7500 registered dentists. He tried his luck at one of the many announcements of recruitment companies in the health area. He does not regret anything and confesses he has no plans to return.
We provide renewable service contract for two years. Rarely offer less than seven thousand euro to a person with my experience. This amount is tax free, but even with the tax burden you can do a good foot-egg. With the economic situation being experienced in Portugal, the return is difficult, he says. Marina reveals that there are many colleagues who to contact to know the conditions you would find in England. The way out is a growing reality for either England, Sweden, France ... Whether the younger as the older.
It's easy to find job advertisements on the Internet. Annual salaries of around 73,000 euros in the United Kingdom or 127 000 in Dubai. The contracts are expected to reach three years, and it is possible to combine public and private work. To note that in recent times there has been an increase in applications. This year alone has recruited 20 dentists for the UK, says the DN Luis Teixeira, the Reach Health Recruitment, a company that also seeks nurses and pharmacists.
The reasons for departure are almost always the same.They are unemployed and looking for work. In the case of dentists, we have people who closed their clinics in Portugal, because there was a decrease of customers, and now look for other conditions, adds Luis Teixeira, noting that in a month's space received between 30 and 40 Portuguese applications that wanted to go Dubai.
Orlando Monteiro da Silva, chairperson of the Order of Dentists, says the departure of professionals will continue. Britain, Ireland, the Nordic countries will need more dentists. Portugal has excess dentistry courses and many professionals without placement. The seven colleges form per year, about 500 new dentists says.
A recent graduate earns the country about 500 euros a green receipts, in England the monthly salary can be eight times higher. There are classes in which 90% of students were exercising out of the country. There is the case of a whole class it happened. There are also senior colleagues who go to England for pension purposes, something difficult to ensure in Portugal said. Have dentists in the National Health Service (SNS) would be a solution. A huge part of the population needs assistance and not can afford. We have between 30 and 40 dentists in the SNS, which is clearly not. If we had an average of two or three dentists by health center would be about 900,000 dentists to do basic treatments, says Monteiro da Silva.
