Schwartz Rounds at RGU
Schwartz Rounds provide a structured forum to come together to discuss the emotional and social aspects of working in health and social care. The purpose of Rounds is not to problem solve or focus on clinical elements but to understand both the challenges and rewards of person and patient care, to recognise the emotional impact on the person behind the professional. Rounds can help you feel more supported and allow time and space to reflect.
To book a place for Schwartz Rounds and for further information please visit our Schwartz Rounds Moodle page: or contact Dr Kate Goodhand or IPL@rgu.ac.uk
Deliberative Practice Network
Deliberative practice is an everyday problem-solving approach which balances personal, social and clinical factors in order to support effective, justifiable decisions. Deliberative practice includes elements of philosophy, psychology and ethics, alongside science, evidence and clinical skills. It is an ability that grows with knowledge, experience and self-awareness. Deliberative practice is sometimes also referred to as ‘critical thinking’, ‘reflective practice’ and ‘professional judgement’.
The Deliberative Practice Network (DPN) resource uses a unique range of tools for communication, education, interviewing, peer support and research, DPN provides a comprehensive forum to enhance and sustain ethical, effective healthcare practice. From simple topic-based conversations to powerful data mining of 1000s of challenging everyday situations, DPN connects students, practitioners, and researchers in a professional, supportive, problem-solving environment.
