Finding the Creative Synergy between Spiritual Care and the Schwartz Rounds

11 December 2026

The Schwartz Rounds® program is an evidence-based intervention that promotes enhanced teamwork and appreciation of colleagues, responsiveness to socioemotional patient issues, increased perceived support and decreased stress and isolation. The premise is that caregivers can better make personal connections with patients and colleagues when they have greater insight into their responses and feelings. Schwartz Rounds are group reflective practice forums that allow staff from all disciplines to reflect on the emotional and social aspects of working in healthcare.

Communities of Practice: A New Way to Register for 2027

31 December 2027

Communities of Practice: A New Way to Register for 2027 Registering for a Community of Practice (CoP) is now simpler and fairer. Following feedback from members at the Spiritual Care Week session, SCA has changed the process for the 2027 intake. It now uses one Expression of Interest form for all topics so people are less likely to miss out. If you have already registered your interest, please complete the new form. Some of the questions and content are a little different. Whilst we could just transfer some of the data, we need people to use the registration form as an agreement form as well. Registration is open to current financial SCA members.
