The analysis of the nuclei of meanings of the data obtained in the interview showed two thematic categories: a) Activities of Permanent Education in Health - home visits, team meeting, guidelines on procedural techniques in different places of care, and the absence of activities; and b) Understandings of Permanent Education in Health - regular meetings of the team to work on teaching in healthcare, learning from the difficulties to build new knowledge, joint discussion to solve people's health problems, and the continuous monitoring of current diseases. There is a clear need for new studies to complement and contribute to the expansion of knowledge for the incorporation of PHE in the practice of care developed by the multidisciplinary teams of the FHU.
