handover

Handover occurs at the change of shift at 0800, 1645 and 2200 hrs daily. The morning and afternoon handovers are formal handovers in the ED meeting room. The night handover structure is varied dependant upon the night staff and department state. We attempt to utilise the ISBAR format for all handovers and keep them succinct.
