Ideal Ward Round

7. Activity 2: Emma's ward round

This activity is designed to help you consider Emma's case study. Using the agenda from the first exercise, consider who should be present for Emma’s ward round. Make sure all agenda items are covered, but also, keep an eye on the ‘Stress Thermometer'. This will have an impact on the patient’s experience of the meeting and ultimately the benefit they get from it. Drag and drop the most suited icons into the meeting room area, to help meet the requirements of Emma's agenda.

Example ward round agenda

  • Introductions: 30sec tick1
  • Feedback MDT: 5min tick2
  • Review patient's experiences: 3min tick3
  • Review of care plan (potential options): 3min tick4
  • Concordance with Medication: 3min 30sec tick5
  • Discharge planning (aftercare etc.): 4min tick6
  • Social activities for patient: 1min tick7

Not all agenda items have been covered!

Yes, this is the minimum amount of people required to cover agenda!

Yes, all agenda items have been covered, but could be covered with less people, this would also help reduce stress for the patient.
