The SES appoints 14 permanent specialists in Anesthesiology…

The Extremadura Health Service (SES) has appointed as permanent statutory staff the candidates who have already chosen positions in the specialties of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation and Hematology and Hemotherapy. This is done through the Resolution of November 3, 2026, from the General Directorate of Human Resources, published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura (DOE) No. 217, of November 11, 2026. The document, with official reference 2026062823, bears the signature of the general director, José Antonio Bote Paz, and closes the destination assignment procedure in Mérida.

The framework: from the 2024 exam to the December taking of office

The process begins with the call approved by the Resolution of December 19, 2024, from the SES Management Directorate (DOE No. 249, of December 26, 2024), for access to the status of permanent statutory staff in the category of Area Specialist Physician. Following the tests, the offer of positions and the selection procedure were established by the Resolution of October 19, 2026, from the General Directorate of Human Resources (DOE No. 205, of October 23, 2026), which published the list of positions and gave candidates a period of five business days to choose them electronically.

According to Annex I of that resolution, the offer consisted of 15 positions: 6 in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation and 9 in Hematology and Hemotherapy, distributed among the hospitals of Badajoz, Mérida, Don Benito-Villanueva, Llerena-Zafra, Cáceres, Coria, Navalmoral de la Mata, and Plasencia. The resolution now published resolves the appointment of those who have chosen a position, specifying the assigned destination.

Five appointments in Anesthesiology and Resuscitation

The physicians appointed in this specialty, with the destination appearing in the attached list, are:

Borja Hinojal Olmedillo, position 0600, Coria (67.955 points).
Ventura García Murillo, position 0300, Don Benito/Villanueva (65.929).
Paula Vargas-Zúñiga Cadenas, position 0300, Don Benito/Villanueva (65.089).
Valentín Moreno Carbonell, position 0700, Plasencia (64.291).
Gloria Piedad Guisado González, position 0700, Plasencia (62.532).

All access via the open competition. The initial offer in this specialty was for six positions, one more than the appointments recorded in the resolution.

Nine appointments in Hematology and Hemotherapy

In this specialty, the resolution records nine appointments, one for each offered position:

María Belén Moreno Risco (65,276), Sara Cáceres Hernández (60,432), both in Don Benito/Villanueva (position 0300).
Celia Luisa Crespo Núñez (58,963), Llerena/Zafra (0400).
Raúl Azibeiro Melchor (58,232), Plasencia (0700).
María del Carmen Montoya Morcillo (57,565), Mérida (0200).
Ana Torres Tienza (57,032) and Alejandro Avendaño Pita (54,631), Coria (0600).
Luz Gema Román Molano (56,881), Cáceres (0500).
Víctor Higüero Saavedra (55,554), Navalmoral de la Mata (0800).

Two losses of right and the incorporation schedule

The second point of the resolution declares the loss of the right to be appointed as permanent statutory personnel in Hematology and Hemotherapy for Carolina Rocío Chic Acevedo and Ángel Giménez Richarte, for failing to request a position in accordance with the procedure established in base 10.3 of the call. Both appeared in the order of selection with 63,372 and 61,119 points, respectively.

The appointed candidates must report to the assigned position on Friday, December 4, 2026, and the taking of office will take place at the Health Area Management to which each position is assigned. Failure to report within this period, when attributable to the interested party and not due to justified causes, will result in the forfeiture of the right and will render the appointment null and void.

Appeal and relevance

Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within two months from the day following its publication in the DOE, and, optionally, a request for reversal (recurso de reposición) before the same body within one month. The decision consolidates the staff of two specialties considered critical in Extremaduran hospitals: Anesthesiology supports surgical activity and Hematology covers the care of onco-hematological patients, such that these fourteen appointments directly affect the organization of operating rooms and the coverage of on-call shifts in the benefited health areas.
