Abstract

The practices of Permanent and Continuing Education were thought through the creation of the Unified Health System (SUS), which highlights the need for a change in professional training in health. These practices meet these professionals to identify the training and developmental needs of health workers; the proposal is to produce a more humane and positive care about the individual and collective health of the population, promoting transformation in practices. In order to understand how these practices are carried out and understood by professionals, the work was carried out in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs III (CAPS AD III), with nine professionals from various areas of knowledge. To carry out the research, the same was passed by the Ethics Committee of the university, by the Department of Health and by the Coordination of the Service, the participating professionals received a consent form. For data collection, two meetings were held (Focal Groups), which were recorded (voice) for transcription. After the meetings and transcription, three categories were analyzed for content analysis, which were divided into: "Context of the work in the CAPS AD III", bringing some of the path taken by the professionals before working in the CAPS and after joining the service, as well as the issues surrounding the institution; the second category presented the "Perceptions of professionals on the practices of Permanent and Continuing Education", placing what professionals understand about these activities; and, finally, "Permanent and Continuing Education Practices within CAPS AD", which have already happened and are happening, as well as suggestions. It was possible to understand that many of these practices are associated with seminar and capacitation training, the professionals put the desire to go out to other municipalities. After the discussions they became actors and responsible for the transformation of the service, rethinking some strategies and thinking about the possibility of promoting meetings between the unit and other establishments, as well as providing information about the service, to bring the society closer to the institution.
