Course Description

There is a pressing need to increase the availability of emotional support to healthcare professionals.  Schwartz Rounds provide a space for staff to reflect on the emotional impact of their work. The Rounds are a multidisciplinary forum for all staff working in healthcare settings. The key premise is that supporting healthcare staff’s well-being, providing a way for them to gain insight into their feelings and those whom they work with helps them to work compassionately with patients.
