Osakidetza will offer more than 4,500 places in the next OPE after the replacement rate has been approved

The Osakidetza Sectoral Bureau has approved on Friday thereplacement rate   2025 to give way to the next regular OPE, so thatmore than 4,500 places  will be offered, together with the OPEs of 2023 and 2024.

The Department of Health has stressed thatwiththe aim of reducing the temporary  to below 8%, "new steps" have been taken this Friday to launch the new regular OPE  next year.

At the meeting of the Osakidetza Sectoral Bureau, the replenishment rate for 2025, i.e. 1,247 places, has been approved, and it has therefore been confirmed that the number of places to be convened in the new OPE  will be that corresponding to the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, that is, around 4,500 places, an amount that can still be increased with the dossier on the increase of staff that Osakidetza plans to approve for next year.

This Public Offer of Employment berri will apply the new model already approved in the Sectoral Bureau, which aims, above all, to speed up selection processes and facilitate participation, as indicated by Osakidetza. As the main novelty, it provides for the delivery of a series of questions related to the agenda and extracted from previous examinations, provided that they have not been cancelled, as well as the possibility of maintaining the grade for three years.

This is the second process to be carried out in accordance with this new structure, which, as reported this Friday in the Sectoral Bureau, will require persons who obtain a place to remain there for at least two years in order to prevent this post from being compromised and to provide better service to the users of these health centres, which are mainly rural clinics, PACs and evening shifts in health centres located in urban centres.

The Sectoral Bureau has also announced its intention toopen the registration period for the transfer process in January 2026  in order to facilitate the internal mobility of the permanent staff of Osakidetza, thus responding to the commitment made by the Basque Health Service to public and quality employment.
