Every day we go round the patients, making clear, robust plans so that the day works like clockwork. However, do you know how much of this information sticks with the team? It’s a shockingly low percentage (even JUST AFTER the plan has been made).
Listen to Lindsey who spoke at the 2023 PCCS conference in Edinburgh. She goes through the systems which are in place in her unit in Cincinnati, meaning that team knowledge has increased hugely. How does protocolising a ward round help? How do we listen (no, really, really listen) to our team? How are team members empowered to be a part of the process?

No ward round is perfect, but listen to Lindsey to hear how we can make them better.
