A résumé of the 118th German Doctors 'Conference - at which the Doctors' Parliament, in addition to political debate and positioning, also carried out the Presidium of the German Medical Association Has confirmed re-election and assigned contracts for the coming term of office - depends on the political perspective, creates space for different evaluations, according to the “eye” of the beholder.
But even something like the ironic remark of supraregional Daily newspaper, "Harmonie" - that is the name of the plenary hall in the Frankfurt Congress Center - is basically the program, the "peace will" of BÄK President Prof. Dr. med. Frank Ulrich Montgomery, owed more to the upcoming election, leaves room in retrospect for the confirmation of successful parliamentary work.
Indisputable is: The session week in Frankfurt was all about continuity and productivity. For the presidium, which is about to enter the second term of office, the resolutions are the response and mandate of the parliament to the executive committee on current or foreseeable upcoming professional issues. Parliament thus sets the course for the work of the medical profession in the political arena in Berlin.
The fact that this kind of practiced democracy can also lead to an overabundance of late proposals and thus to voting marathons at the expense of objective debate is an if not new, but repeatedly regretted experience of many medical interest representatives. Such hurdles can only be overcome by means of professional plenary leadership and the use of parliamentary instruments such as agreed non-involvement or referral back to the board. Here it is also important to give the elected board of directors freedom of action in future political life. For the majority of the medical representatives, as Frankfurt has confirmed, the political ability of the professional self-administration is the means of choice for the implementation of their political demands.
The BÄK Presidium, which acts by voter mandate towards legislators and political bodies for the coming years explained exactly this to the guiding principle at the German Doctors' Conference: remaining able to talk is prerequisite for medical action in freedom and personal responsibility. Even more: the MPs from the medical factions, which think differently, have done exactly that in Frankfurt.

In the Paulskirche in Frankfurt, Federal Minister of Health Gröhe also emphasized that this willingness to engage in factual dispute on an equal footing with the legislature has also been emphasized, even though he has admitted that the matter is then consistently disputed.
Substantial and explained criticism - whether the Statutory Health Insurance Supply Strengthening Act, in the euthanasia debate, whether in the discussion about ways out of regional undersupply, international aid in crisis areas, human rights and much more - is heard, translates into changes in the legislature This creates better conditions for doctors and patients in health system that, by the way, is still considered role model by many internationally.
