Promoting Excellence In Psychological Health & Wellbeing

The North West Psychological Professions Network hosts the North West Schwartz Rounds Community of Practice. Staff involved with running Schwartz Rounds at any licensed Schwartz Rounds organisations in the North West are welcome to attend the meetings. The Community of Practice (CoP) has been running for over seven years and has held face to face and online meetings. The CoP provides an opportunity for those involved in setting up and running Schwartz Rounds to come together and share their work and practice, to discuss top tips and challenges, to share idea for themes for Rounds, ways for sustaining running Rounds and to hear presentations on relevant research and evaluation.

The community of practice currently aims to hold two events per year to support colleagues in the North West who are involved in Rounds or interested in developing them. If you are interested in hosting or supporting an event then please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
