It is a way how to obtain current information, keep up with recent knowledge and skills that may be applied in medical care. The results have shown that both nurses in private outpatient departments and nurses in policlinics choose the seminars or lectures according to the topic, not according to the place where they are held. The majority of nurses from private outpatient departments and policlinics choose seminars and conferences relevant to their professional and personal interest, not according to the price. Bosses in policlinics are more obliging when nurses wish to attend seminars and conferences than private doctors
