Schwartz Rounds: When I didn't want to walk back in the room

About
For some of us, it’s the feeling of dread – the tightening in your chest, anxiety for what comes next. For others, it might be a sinking feeling, laced with fear or panic. It can be different for everyone, but the thought of walking back into a difficult situation can be overwhelming.In this session we’ll hear from team members from across the hospital about a time when they didn’t want to walk back in the room. It’s an opportunity to come together in a safe space and exchange experiences, learnings, and ideas. Everyone is welcome.
This time, we’re trying something new!
We recognise speaking up can be hard and we want to give everyone a chance to share their story or connection to the topic. As part of registration, we invite you to submit a brief story, thought, reflection or question to be read out anonymously (or not) during the Round by one of our organisers. It’s a great way to get tough feelings off your chest and connect with those around you.
