Our nurses and midwives
The name Receptosia combines two Polish words: “recepta” (prescription) and “siostra” (sister – the traditional way to address a nurse). Behind every consultation there is a real person with a licence to practise – a nurse or midwife, not an algorithm.
Who carries out consultations
We work only with nurses and midwives who:
- hold a current licence to practise (PWZ number),
- are authorised to prescribe under Articles 15a and 15b of the Polish Act on the Professions of Nurse and Midwife,
- work under a healthcare provider (podmiot leczniczy) and keep medical records.
Consultations about emergency contraception are carried out by midwives only – this is what the law requires.
How to check their credentials
Any nurse's or midwife's licence to practise can be verified in the Central Register of Nurses and Midwives (Centralny Rejestr Pielęgniarek i Położnych), which is kept by the professional self-governing body. You'll find the PWZ number of the person who carried out your consultation on your e-prescription.
