Schwartz Rounds are an interprofessional, reflective forums where students and staff from across the Faculty of Health, Education and Society can come together to discuss the emotional impact of their work and training.
Working in challenging professions involves facing many distressing situations which can affect our wellbeing. Rounds can help us feel more connected to each other and promote a more compassionate culture to help us care for people using services.
The underlying premise for Rounds is that the compassion shown by staff can make all the difference to a people’s experiences, but that in order to provide compassionate care staff must, in turn, feel supported in their work.
Rounds last for one hour and a panel of 2-3 storytellers share their experiences of practice and how this has made them feel. Food/beverages are provided at in-person Rounds.
Two trained facilitators co-ordinate the Round and invite members of the audience to share similar stories and experiences after the storytellers have spoken. Rounds focus on feelings and do not seek solutions to practice dilemmas.
Confidentiality is maintained but conversations about content and connections are encouraged outside of the group.
