Hi Senga, I have recently started in a senior position and a colleague told me I should use the SBAR method when communicating with teams and external professionals. I didn’t want to ask her to explain, do you know what this is?
Hi Basset,
Yes, I am aware of Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR).
It is a technique that can be used to facilitate communication. This communication model has gained popularity in healthcare settings.
It is a way to communicate effectively with one another and allows for important information to be transferred accurately.
The format of SBAR allows for short, organised and predictable flow of information between professionals.
The Care Inspectorate use in their communication tools, one of which you will find here, this may help you.
