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.
