Episode: The 'power of the debrief', types and tools for debrief
Description: In this episode we look at the debrief in its entirety; why we debrief, when, how and where. We examine the evidence behind debriefing and the institutions that use debrief such as the military, pre-hospital practitioners, ward based staff, sports teams, athletes and others. We then look at the types of debrief such as the hot & cold debrief, Schwartz rounds, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, the After Action Review amongst others. We then examine 6 tools of debriefing that can be used in practice. We briefly also touch on the disparity of evidence around mitigation of psychiatric pathology such as PTSD.Â
