Access Improvement Programme | Topic based modular programme

These sessions are each of up to 90 minutes online, focusing on specific improvement topics and approaches.  They are designed to enable those working at practice and PCN level to explore specific topics.

Effective communication using the SBAR tool

We communicate all the time, but we do not always seem to get the desired outcomes.  In this module we will explore why that happens and what effect it can have, then introduce you to a tool that can help us to avoid miscommunication.  We will demonstrate communicating using the SBAR tool, then consider some practical starting points for using the tool in practice.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to: –

  • identify how we miscommunicate and what effects that can have
  • describe the components of the SBAR communication tool
  • practise using the tool
  • identify and explore practical applications for SBAR in practice.

This webinar is for PCNs and practices staff. For more about the Access Improvement programme delivered by the Time for Care team please visit our website https://www.england.nhs.uk/gp/gpfv/redesign/gpdp/capability/
