Debriefing: Understanding the Benefits and Learning Fundamental Skills

Explore an overview regarding the benefits of debriefing alongside identifying fundamental skills in relation to the debriefing process.

Description

Aim

Debriefing is a dialogue between two or more people who have been involved in a critical situation/incident. Its goals are to provide an opportunity to discuss the actions and individual thought processes that occurred in order to encourage reflection and determine opportunities for improvement and support at the individual, team, and system level. Debriefing essentially assists staff to explore what went well and what could be done differently. This workshop provides an overview regarding the benefits of debriefing alongside identifying fundamental skills in relation to the debriefing process. Note: This workshop does not teach you to become a qualified debriefer.
