Facilitator and Clinical Lead Training
A clinical lead and at least two facilitators will be trained in each organisation. The clinical leads and facilitators have slightly different roles, but they both attend the same training.
The training is spread over two Days, with a gap of a couple of months in between both training days. Day 1 takes place prior to facilitating Rounds and Day 2 takes places after experience of facilitating at least three Rounds.
- Day 1 – includes an introduction to Rounds, topic generation, panel preparation, facilitation skills and a live Round
- Day 2 – includes ideas for sustainability, advanced facilitation skills and further panel preparation skills
Experience suggests that Schwartz Rounds are more likely to be embedded successfully in organisations with more trained facilitators.
