Results: Poor handover practice was demonstrated initially, then improved upon with the ABCD Handover model. Fifty two percent took place in an appropriate non-clinical environment (65% after re-audit, p< 0.05). A senior clinician was present at 23%(64.3% after re-audit, p, 0.05). Complete, accurate, patient information was presented at 71.4% of handovers (78.6% after re-audit). The number of admissions discussed improved from 28.2% to 87.6%, p< 0.05. Conclusion: Good handover is vital in surgical practice in the EWTD era. In this study, poor initial compliance with Royal College guidelines was significantly improved through the use of a simple model, the ABCD of Handover.

Abstract

Fifty two percent took place in an appropriate non-clinical environment (65% after re-audit, p< 0.05). A senior clinician was present at 23%(64.3% after re-audit, p, 0.05). Complete, accurate, patient information was presented at 71.4% of handovers (78.6% after re-audit). The number of admissions discussed improved from 28.2% to 87.6%, p< 0.05. Conclusion: Good handover is vital in surgical practice in the EWTD era. In this study, poor initial compliance with Royal College guidelines was significantly improved through the use of a simple model, the ABCD of Handover.
