What is shared in Schwartz Centre Rounds in an acute trust setting?

摘要

Schwartz Centre Rounds (SCR) give staff an opportunity to discuss the experience of delivering care with a focus on the ‘human dimension’ of medicine. This facilitated educational format, which originated in the US, helps staff deliver compassionate care, and was introduced to hospices and trusts in the UK in 2009. The uptake of SCR rose after they were mentioned in the 2013 . Motivation for starting rounds in the UK differs from the US, focusing on staff wellbeing, rather than the promotion of compassionate care, although the two are linked.
