The Gerencia de Atención Primaria de Gran Canaria is holding public events this week under the title Tiempo de tagoror . The activities are part of the 46th congress of the Sociedad Española de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (semFYC), which is being held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria . The public events are scheduled for 5 and 7 November 2026, from 09:00 to 14:00 on both days, at the Jardines del Atlántico planned, the outdoor areas of the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus.
Under the themes “La Medicina de Familia sale a la calle” and “Aprendiendo juntos”, there will be information tents, short training sessions and interactive activities. The focus is on prevention and health promotion: the importance of regular physical activity, coping with frailty and the risk of falls, first aid at home, and sensitive day-to-day interactions with and support for people with mental health conditions. The aim is to raise the profile of primary care and share practical measures that can be applied in everyday life.
The sessions will involve health professionals from health centres across Gran Canaria. The announcement names, among others, Alba Morera (family and community medicine resident) and Ana María Pachón (family and community medicine specialist), both from the El Carrizal Zona Básica de Salud, as well as Angélica Laurin (ZBS Barrio Atlántico) and David Moran (ZBS Arucas). Nursing staff taking part include Guacimara Martín (emergency service at Tamaraceite Health Centre) and Enoc Suárez (ZBS Arucas). Coordinators from the Gerencia are also involved.
The Gerencia de Atención Primaria de Gran Canaria has announced a dedicated information stand for 7 November. It will be led by team coordinators Juan Luis Burgazzoli and Nayra Ramírez. It will explain the professional roles in primary care and the services offered by health centres and local outpatient clinics on Gran Canaria. Carlos Ramírez, a family and community medicine specialist at the Dirección General de Programas Asistenciales of the Canarian Health Service, will also present information.
A learning-focused activity trail (gymkhana) is also planned, offering an insight into training in family and community medicine. Patient associations and organisations representing relatives will take part with stands on healthy lifestyles and disease prevention. The information is based on a statement from the Gobierno de Canarias dated 3 November 2026.
