Developed by the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center in the USA, the Rounds have been shown to improve the ability of staff to provide compassionate care.

We are piloting Rounds at the Royal Free Hampstead NHS Trust and at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Initial reports suggest that the success the Rounds have had in the US can be replicated in the UK. We're hoping to launch Rounds at more sites, and will publish an evaluation this autumn.
