Schwartz Rounds are open to all colleagues – both clinical and non clinical. The purpose of Schwartz Rounds is to provide colleagues with time and space to reflect on their roles and understand the challenges and rewards that are part of providing care.
Each meeting lasts one hour and has three participants who each tell their story about a topic (which varies each month), followed by 30-40 minutes of discussion and reflections, exploring the emotional aspects raised by the stories which have been shared.
As well as being rated highly by staff who attended Rounds, there is also evidence that attending Schwartz Rounds reduces moral distress for colleagues and helps them to provide compassionate care.
All colleagues from across the Trust are welcome to attend. There is no need to book, please just turn up on time.
