In addition, it should be noted that as part of the support for postgraduate education of nurses and and midwives, the Minister of Health annually subsidizes specialization training for these professional groups, within the financial resources allocated for this purpose in the state budget.

Doctors: Based on two acts related to the COVID-19 pandemic (http://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU20200002112/U/D20202112Lj.pdf and https://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU20200002401/U/D20202401Lj.pdf) provisions were introduced for people who obtained qualifications of a physician, dentist, nurse, midwife, paramedic, outside the European Union (for citizens of EU Member States and foreigners from outside the EU) enabling: 1) obtaining the above-mentioned persons with the license to practice a given medical profession for a specific scope of professional activities, time and place of employment (in an entity performing medical activities for a period of up to 5 years, provided that certain requirements specified by law are met); 2) obtaining the above-mentioned persons, during an epidemic emergency or epidemic, the conditional license to practice a given medical profession. As part of the so-called “simplified mode”, two types of solutions have been introduced into the Polish legal system: 1) permanent solution, which is also valid after the end of the epidemic, and which is related to the stricter conditions of limited admission to the Polish labor market (the license to practice a profession for a specific scope of professional activities, time and place of employment); 2) a conditionall solution, in force during the announcement of an epidemic threat or state of an epidemic, which is based on maximally simplified rules while maintaining the necessary level of safety in the face of the urgent need to strengthen the existing human resources in entities providing health services to patients suffering from COVID - 19 (conditional license to practice a given medical profession). Moreover, it should be noted that the regulations providing for the introduction to the Polish legal system of the possibility for persons who obtained professional qualifications outside the European Union to apply for the license to practice a medical profession (physician, dentist, nurse, midwife, paramedic) for a specific scope of professional activities, the time and place of employment are based on the regulations and solutions introduced in Germany long before the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, it should be noted that persons licensed to practice a given medical profession (physician, dentist, nurse, midwife, paramedic) for a specific scope of professional activities, time and place of employment or having a conditional license to practice in Poland, do not obtain the right to apply for recognition of qualifications in another EU Member State under Directive 2005/36 / EC on the recognition of professional qualifications. nurses and midwives: The Minister of Health undertakes many actions aimed at increasing the number of professionally active nurses and midwives in the health care system: - actions taken to increase the number of students under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development, i.e. support for pre-graduate education of nurses and midwives from European Union funds under development programmes e.g. scholarships for students, medical simulation centers) and a media campaign promoting the nursing and midwifery professions #Stawiam na przyszłość carried out in 2020.
