Summary/Abstract: The management of human resources in healthcare is defined through documents of national guidelines of set strategic goals and places emphasis on stronger professions through continuous education and general qualitative development. Special emphasis is placed on human resources management for nurses and technicians as the most numerous group of health workers. The goal of this research is to differentiate the development of individual branches in medicine with a focus on the career development of nurses and technicians as part of a strategic reflection that will inductively reflect on general positive trends. The trend in the EU is to direct nurses and technicians to further education in order to expand their scope of duties and responsibilities, so the focus is on lower career development, which is the next logical step in the development of the profession. This paper analyzes the career development of nurses and technicians in the field of hyperbaric medicine in Croatia through the perception of the attitudes of the nurses and technicians themselves and the head of the bracoroom. The scientific contribution of this research is the expansion of knowledge about the development of human resources at work in pressure chambers. The research methodology is a survey questionnaire and an in-depth interview with the heads of centers for hyberbaric medicine in the Republic of Croatia.
