dc.description.abstract	In recent times, Family Health Units (USF) have achieved greater efficiency, accessibility, a better work environment, higher citizen satisfaction, and, overall, better quality. The reform has been a clear success in terms of professional engagement. However, there are still some weaknesses to address, and the continued success of USFs is closely dependent on the sustained interest from both government entities and healthcare professionals. This study focuses on the capacity building of staff and, mainly, the acquisition of skills within a family health unit. A quantitative and qualitative methodology employed, involving a focus group and a questionnaire survey, ensuring confidentiality and anonymity, and ensuring that the questions asked weren’t related to sensitive data. The staff of the USF were our target audience, with a sample of 17 people who attended the training and responded to the questionnaire. The results revealed a general need for training on teamwork and the analysis of information/communication provided. Working with multidisciplinary teams is increasingly important in healthcare structures. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access.	eng
