Finding obtained for Schwartz rounds

Nick Hutchinson and Philip Molyneux have been successful in securing funding to be involved in Schwartz rounds with health and social care students within the Faculty of Health Sciences. Schwartz rounds are a multidisciplinary forum for staff working in healthcare settings to reflect together on the emotional impact of their work. This work is being undertaken in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, supported by funding from Health Education England (HEE).   HEE is funding a project to enable 7 HEIs in North England to access training for staff to deliver Schwartz Rounds to inter professional student groups. Given the extensive range of health programmes here in Hull, and the facilities we now have on campus, this is a great opportunity – one that will both promote inter-professional learning and reflection across our students, and also help to support student wellbeing across health, social work and medicine programmes. Collaboration with the University of Liverpool and other HEIs will also involve research and evaluation of Schwartz rounds. Faculty representatives will be attending an initial briefing/training event in Liverpool at the end of March 2019.

Project summary

In India, gender discrimination and related violence cause serious health, wellbeing and development challenges affecting girls and women–particularly in deprived communities. Work to address these problems in communities are a key aim of local, regional and national health and social agencies in India. To address these challenges, the team at the University of Hull is partnering with three institutes in India who are working to improve gender equality and tackle gender related violence through community based projects. The UK team will help the Indian partners to design projects to involve young boys and girls in gender equality practices. Further, an evaluation of the on-going ‘responsible couples’ project will allow them to develop a national level initiative to reduce violence against women/girls. The project will also develop the research skills of local health staff, and help them design a future research and development projects to improve gender equality in India.
