Medical Oncology specialists with permanent positions in Osakidetza or in the National Health System have a concrete opportunity to access the service chief position at Bilbao-Basurto Hospital. Resolution 2433/2026, of March 20, from the Management Board of the Integrated Healthcare Organization (OSI) Bilbao-Basurto, published in the BOE on June 18, 2026, convenes the merit-based competition to fill this job position.
The process is governed by the Healthcare Organization Law of Euskadi and the Framework Statute for statutory staff, which establishes a clear legal framework for both candidates and the evaluation committee.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes a merit-based competition to fill the position of Chief of Medical Oncology Healthcare Service at OSI Bilbao-Basurto. The key elements of the process are detailed below:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type of process | Merit-based competition with public defense |
| Binding requirement | Permanent statutory staff, career civil servant or permanent employee |
| Classification group | A1 |
| Required specialty | Medical Oncology |
| Minimum experience | 4 years in the specialty |
| Main test | Presentation and public defense of a management project report before the Evaluation Committee |
| Approval threshold | Obtain at least half of the total maximum score |
| Application deadline | 15 business days from the last publication in official bulletins |
| Regulatory framework | Healthcare Organization Law of Euskadi and Framework Statute for statutory staff |
The differentiating element of this process compared to other ordinary provision competitions is the management project report: the candidate must prepare and publicly defend a project that demonstrates their vision and ability to lead the service. The Evaluation Committee assesses both the accredited merits and the quality of that defense.
Economic and operational impact
For the selected candidate, accessing a service chief position in Osakidetza represents a relevant change in compensation: service chief positions of group A1 in the Basque healthcare system include specific position allowances that are added to the base salary of the statutory category. The resolution does not detail specific amounts, but the compensation impact is one of the main incentives of the process.
From an operational perspective, the position involves clinical and management direction of the Medical Oncology Service at Bilbao-Basurto Hospital, one of the reference hospitals in the Basque Country. The holder assumes responsibilities for healthcare organization, human resources management of the service and representation before the center's management.
For OSI Bilbao-Basurto, filling this chief position through a merit-based competition ensures continuity of service provision and compliance with clinical governance standards required by Basque healthcare regulations.
Who does it affect?

- Medical Oncology specialists of group A1 belonging to any health service of the National Health System that meet the binding requirements.
- Professionals with at least 4 years of experience accredited in the specialty of Medical Oncology.
- HR managers and medical directors of OSI Bilbao-Basurto, who must manage the call and evaluation process.
Practical example
A medical specialist in Medical Oncology with a permanent statutory position at the University Hospital of Álava (Osakidetza), group A1 and 7 years of experience in the specialty, meets all access requirements: binding as permanent statutory staff, group A1 and more than 4 years of accredited experience.
This professional must, within the deadline of 15 business days from the last publication in official bulletins, submit their application together with documentation accrediting merits. At the same time, they must prepare a management project report that they will have to defend publicly before the Evaluation Committee.
To be appointed Chief of Service, they must obtain at least half of the total maximum score established in the competition bases. If they do not reach that threshold, they cannot be appointed even if they are the candidate with the highest relative score.
