This research study investigated the impact of staff education levels in ensuring implementation of effective health programmes: A comparative study of NPOs in City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. The literature that was consulted explains the current level of education, worldwide and South Africa, challenges and reasons for lack of critical skills among health professionals and social workers. An exploratory approach was used in the study; by conducting a case study on two selected Non Profit Orgaisations (NPOs) namely, Hope for Life and Bophelong Life Community Hospice, both receiving funding from the Department of Health and Social Development and from the National Lotteries Distribution Trust (NLDTF) through the National Lotteries Board (NLB). Three methods of data collection were used to triangulate data, i.e. questionnaires, interviews and documentation reviews. Data was collected from staff members, NPO management and documentation from NPOs and Grant Funding System of the NLB. At the end of the study and using acquired information, a number of recommendations are made for the effective implementation of programmes for both NPOs and funding organisations such as NLB.

On this encounter, health practices and practices of subjectivation are produced at once, that is, new health care approaches, new ways to produce sense, to relating to oneself and others. In order to analyze and reflect on these elements, i closely followed, as a worker-researcher, an integration action between a teaching institution and a health service: a medical school partnership with a Basic Health Unit that annually receives students as interns, accompanying some of the daily actions of the work in public and collective health. Two paths were followed: the construction of a field diary describing and analyzing this experience, in which I aimed to contextualize the ways in which Unified Health System training experiences are constructed; and the conduction of two interviews on the training itineraries of professionals involved in this practice of teaching-service integration, with the intention of illustrating and discussing the process of health care training as a field of meetings and production of subjectivity / A partir da perspectiva de formação no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a ampla gama de ações neste sentido, toma-se como norte nesta pesquisa a experiência do sujeito que se forma – eticamente, politicamente, clinicamente – por meio de seu próprio encontro com o serviço de saúde e com o trabalho em saúde. Neste encontro se produzem ao mesmo tempo práticas de saúde e práticas de subjetivação, isto é, novas maneiras de cuidar em saúde e novas maneiras de atribuir sentido, experimentar, se relacionar consigo mesmo e com os outros. Para analisar e refletir sobre esses elementos, acompanhei de perto, enquanto trabalhador-pesquisador, uma ação de integração entre instituição de ensino e serviço de saúde: parceria de uma faculdade de medicina com uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) que recebe anualmente estudantes em estágio, acompanhando algumas das ações cotidianas do trabalho na saúde pública e coletiva. Disso seguiram dois caminhos: a construção de um diário de campo que descreve e analisa essa experiência, em que objetivei contextualizar os modos pelos quais se constroem experiências de formação em serviço no SUS; a realização de duas entrevistas narrativas sobre itinerários de formação de profissionais envolvidos nessa prática de integração ensino-serviço, com a intenção de apresentar e discutir alguns elementos do processo de formação em saúde enquanto campo de encontros e produção de subjetividade
