The story so far…. Summer 2016 – ‘Schwartzish’ style Round and recruitment of an enthusiastic steering group. 2016/17 - Partnership between the Faculty of Health and Human Sciences and Plymouth University School of Medicine and Dentistry. 2016 onwards -Regular Rounds run for students and staff across the university venues.

What is Schwartz? The legacy of Ken Schwartz ’Small acts of kindness that make the unbearable, bearable…’ A fantastic way to bring students and staff from all health and social care professions together to explore the emotional aspects of their work and training A safe space to discuss and acknowledge the impact of life as a professional in our current environment

Thoughts… “The question in the session was asked what we do with all that ‘emotion’ in the long term. I don’t know how we do. It is part of us and remains poignant and painful for always – I had the feeling my ‘well-managed’ emotions are indeed very close to the surface. It doesn’t take much to invoke them but we also have to ‘function’.   Thank you. NEXT ROUND: June 7th 17:00-18:30 in Rolle 115 – ‘Learning from mistakes’… Link slide
