[Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, is a Gram-negative diplococcal bacterium that is only found naturally in humans. The meningococcus is part of the normal microbiota of the human nasopharynx and is commonly carried in healthy individuals. In some cases systemic invasion occurs, which can lead to meningitis and/or septicemia. Invasive disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis is potentially devastating, with a high case fatality rate and high rates of significant sequelae among survivors after septicaemia or meningitis. Between 2006-2015 every year between 34 and 70 were the numbers of the registered invasive disease because of Neisseria meningitis, the morbidity rate was 0.2-0.7⁰⁄₀₀₀₀. Half of the diseases (50.7%) were caused by B serotype N. meningitidis, 23.2% were C serotype. In this article the authors summarise what you must do and must not do as primary care physician when suddenly meeting a young patients suspected of having meningococcus infection. ]

[All health care systems in Europe face similar challenges. In Hungary the most important one is the emigration of health system workers and the increasing demand for care in ageing population. Key areas of the development of primary health care are prevention, public health and health promotion. In The Primary Care Development Model Program the single-handed general practices comprised of one GP, one nurse and one health visitor who were teamed up and formed the GP’s cluster employing various other health professionals (including community nurses). In the last 4 years the new primary care system became a reality for 40,000 inhabitants of four disadvantaged micro-regions of Hungary. The health status of more than 20.000 adults and 8000 children were assessed between 2013 and 2017 in the Modell Programme that uncovered a number of hidden diseases.]

[The aim of the study: To assess the working conditions and level of job satisfaction of health professionals in primary care, and to explore key elements for a succesful career model. Methods: The cross-sectional survey was conducted between 12 March 2018 and 06 April 2018 among health professionals working in primary care, selected using a random, sampling method. The data gathering took place using a web-based, anonymous, self-completion questionnaire. For data analysis they used SPSS version 25.0 with Chi square test (p<0,05). Results: The sample size of the research comprised of 3740 persons, the average age was 44.87 years. The heath professionals are generally satisfied with their work schedule (74.8%), but they expressed the least satisfaction (81.5%) with their financial compensation. According to these survey results, pay is significant. 96.2% of respondents would like to be compensated according to new government-regulated pay scales. Conclusions: It can be stated that increasing the job satisfaction of health professionals and to elaborate the career model of them would be of crucial importance. Key elements of a successful career model offers benefits that are essential for health professionals retention: direction and motivation. ]
