Ward Rounds

On ward rounds (registrar or consultant rounds) you should:

• Present patients you have seen when possible
• Learn by observing
  - Watch and reflect on communication with the team, the patient and family
  - Watch and reflect on how the resident and registrar manage multiple roles and competing tasks
  - Ask questions when there is appropriate time and opportunity
• Offer to take on a role e.g. printing parent information sheets, finding charts, looking up results.
