In that first call, 1,499 places will be offered and the rest in spring 2022. The Sectorial Table has approved the General Bases of the OPE, but “they have not had the support of any of the union organizations.”
Osakidetza has announced the call for the 2018-2019 OPE, which will have 3,535 places and will take place in two phases, a first call in December and a second, in spring 2022.
In this first call, at least 1,499 places will be offered for a total of 19 categories, including those that are destined to reinforce Primary Care, such as 322 places for Family Medicine and 62 for Pediatrics. In the second phase, all the remaining places will be offered.
The bases of this first phase will be published in mid-December in the BOPV, where applicants will be able to find more information on the more specific aspects of each professional category, as well as the agenda for each category and other information of specific interest. The exams to be able to aspire to any of these places will be held between April and May 2022.
The CEO of Osakidetza, Rosa Perez, has explained today the reason why it has chosen to divide the 2018-2019 OPE into two phases separated in time. “After a year of negotiation within the framework of the Sectorial Table, the trade union centrals have not supported the bases of the call, with which, if we do not make the call before the end of the year, those places would be lost forever, and that Osakidetza is not going to accept it in any way, “he assured.
Osakidetza has ensured that the 2018/2019 OPE call will have “the maximum guarantees in order to select the best professionals and attract talent, complying with the principles of equality, merit, ability, objectivity, impartiality, transparency, agility and reliability “.
“Refering to preparation of the exams It should be noted that those who are part of the courts will have a manual, which each court will be able to decide whether to assume responsibility for the preparation of the evidence or to entrust this task to an external body with experience in the matter; that the preparation of the practical part will not depend on a single person and that it is planned to introduce a random element in order to ensure that no one who participates in the selection process can have knowledge of the final content of the test “, explained the Department of Cheers on a note.
“Absurdity”
It’s a statement, CCOO has assured that the measure “represents an absurd step backwards in the search for transparency” of the new OPE model. “Thus starts a PEO of 3,233 seats that fails to dispel the doubts of the previous process,” he warned.
The CCOO Health Federation of Euskadi has recalled that “although until now it was going to be the IVAP“whoever is in charge of preparing the exams will no longer do so” due to technical impossibility, “according to Osakidetza.
The extraordinary Sectorial Table has approved the General Bases of OPE 18/19, but “they have not had the support of any of the union organizations” that comprise it.
CCOO has assured that it had requested in the Sectorial Table “on different occasions” that the tests be prepared by the IVAP “by personnel other than Osakidetza, so that the suspicion of leaks could be avoided.” “However, the Basque Health Service has approved the opposite, leaving the decision in the hands of the court again,” I have censured.
“Instead of making the OPE process more transparent, responsibility is transferred to each of these courts, which could decide to prepare them themselves,” he criticized.
For CCOO, “whatever happens with the investigation of the possible leaks of OPE 16-17, this decision shows that the Department of Health and Osakidetza they will not correct past mistakes“.
