Abstract
Abstract Objective: To analyze the speeches of health professionals about continuing education in the daily life of a basic health unit. Method: Qualitative study developed at a primary health care unit of Belo Horizonte, based on the theory of Agnes Heller's daily life with critical discourse analysis. In-depth interviews with 25 professionals were developed. Results: Recycling, updating, institutional responsibility, continuous learning, discomfort and transformation, revealed by vocabulary, interdiscourse, temporality, modality, evaluation and institutional social practice. Professionals blame the institution, but value continuing education for the transformation in work processes and attention to users. Final considerations and implications for practice: The discomfort provides action-reflection and changes in the attention to users. Recycle and update relates the professional's adaptation to technological updating, without necessarily producing changes. To expand discussion with professionals about daily potential, for recognition and appreciation of continuing education in daily life, as an instrument of change in social practices.

Summary
Continuing education (PE) has been adopted in the health sector with the purpose of rethinking methodologies and policies that allow changes in behaviors and practices, through the integration and structuring of knowledge, resulting in new ways of thinking. In Brazil, the Continuing education in Health presents itself as a proposal of strategic action of the Unified Health System (UHS) for the development of the health professionals in the services. In this area, the learning process is based on the reality lived at work and has potential for the transformation of health practices. The National Policy of Continuing education in Health, established in 2004, is based on the assumption of learning as a daily exercise for the identification of difficulties and obstacles, and of the possibilities of effective construction of qualified care, considering Continuing education in Health, incorporated into their daily lives, the learning and the teaching.[2] In 2007, new guidelines and strategies were introduced, taking into account regional specificities, training and development needs for health work.[3]
