In this episode, Liz and Jesse are joined by Shania Tribel. Shania is a registered nurse who works in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit, or “Recovery” for the old school crew. The medium was the message with this episode – organised, succinct, and informative. This is a must listen for those developing confidence with clinical handover and those teaching it.

Shania’s Five Things:

1. Use a standardised and consistent template/format.
2. Handover should be done with a brief head to toe assessment.
3. The patient is a member of the clinical handover.
4. Take your time to save your time.
5. Use time management hacks to form your handover throughout the shift.
