The role of professional competences in matching the qualifications of medical professionals with the requirements of health care services

The aim of the article is to indicate the role of professional competences in adjusting the qualifications of medical workers to the requirements of the patients treatment process. The article presents the activities of EU and the Polish labour ministry aimed at increasing the role of competences in the labour market policy. It also shows exemplary connections of competences with tasks of family nurse, competence profile in 12 selected medical professions, social competences and personality traits, important for the performance of various medical services. Information on competences is contained in the “Information on occupations”, prepared by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Affairs. The analysis in the article leads to the conclusion, that not all descriptions of competences are adapted to the specificity of medical work. They must not be used as a benchmark for the development of competence profiles in a particular healthcare organization.
