About PTMR

The Polish Society of Family Medicine (PTMR), established in 1999, is an interdisciplinary organisation bringing together all those interested in family medicine, with a particular focus on family medicine specialists. Our goals, mission and vision for family medicine are aligned with WONCA. Their aim is to provide and maintain the highest quality of care for patients in primary care, making a real difference to their health and comfort.

Their mission is to disseminate the latest scientific developments in the field of family medicine in its broadest sense and to encourage family doctors to be creative in their scientific work and to disseminate the results of their research, thereby also inspiring them to continuously improve their professional qualifications, as well as providing broad access to modern, continuous training for family doctors.

As a society for primary care physicians from all over Poland, PTMR provides a platform for these physicians to cooperate with each other and with specialists from various medical disciplines, thus enabling the exchange of experience and information on family medicine. Given the high qualifications, knowledge and experience of the affiliated doctors, PTMR`s tasks also include providing opinions on legal acts concerning the health care system and the training of medical staff, and participating in discussions on the development of the health care system in Poland, with particular emphasis on family medicine and primary care.
