Canary Islands Health Ministry Releases Provisional Career Progression Lists

The Canary Islands' Health Ministry has released provisional lists concerning the career progression of licensed medical personnel at the Insular-Materno Infantil University Hospital Complex. These lists include applications submitted between April 1 and July 6, 2025, for career advancement and grade elevation.

Process and Regulations

The process follows established regulations, allowing healthcare workers to:

  • Challenge their proposed grade placement
  • Contest exclusions
  • Withdraw from the process within a ten-day appeal period after publication.

This step aims to recognize the professional development of health staff without changing their current roles, providing a pathway for career growth based on merit.

Evaluation and Criteria

The evaluation, carried out by the Career Evaluation Committee, assesses if applicants meet specific criteria such as:

  • Service experience
  • Qualifications
  • Merit points

These criteria are part of Spain’s broader health personnel career system.

Outcomes of the Lists

The provisional lists reveal:

  • Who qualifies for promotion
  • Who does not meet the requirements
  • Who failed to pass the merit evaluation

Goals and Impact

This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to promote:

  • Fairness
  • Transparency in the professional development of healthcare workers in the Canary Islands.

It also highlights the government’s commitment to:

  • Rewarding experience and skills
  • Helping retain talented staff
  • Improving health services for residents.
