Round Table on “The Role of Orthopedics in Large Healthcare Groups"

At this round table, which will have speakers from all major Portuguese healthcare groups, the aim is to:

• Discuss the role of orthopaedists in private medicine, the importance of training support and scientific updates;

• Is there “pressure” to produce consultations and surgeries? What are the consequences?

• Loss of remuneration for orthopaedists over time (from 30% of surgeries to around 10% currently) – what is the trend in the future?

• What is the evolution of investments in private healthcare?

• Will it make sense to force doctors to retire at 70/75 years of age? Who defines the criteria?

• What will the general healthcare panorama be like in the future?
