Objective:
Qualify the shift handover in an Obstetric Unit during the COVID-19 pandemic period, through Permanent Health Education.

Action research conducted in southern Brazil. The research was conducted from interviews with healthcare professionals and students and the data were analyzed using the Reflexive technique. Interventions took place in different work shifts, with the support of a serial album as a didactic and educational resource.
Results:
The data analysis made it possible to record experiences and the delineation of two thematic categories: From traditional approaches to the reinvention of learning in healthcare work; and From conformism to professional growth.
Conclusion:
The shift handover in the Obstetric Unit, through Permanent Health Education, enabled autonomous, interactive, and cooperative learning; awakened the desire to transcend the work routine; and highlighted the need to continuously (re)signify the healthcare work process.
