title: Intentional rounding: its role in supporting essential care.
abstract: The King's Fund Point of Care (POC) programme aims to identify and test interventions that can improve patients' experiences of care. "Intentional rounding" is one such intervention, which is being trialled by some of the teams working with the King's Fund on the POC programme. This article explains the principles of intentional rounding and how nurses can use it to ensure patients' essential care needs are met.
