🧭 Focus On… SBAR

The perfect pocket prompt for clearer communication in clinical care

If you’ve heard of SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation), you know it’s a cornerstone of safe, structured handovers. But how many times have you wished for a quick reference right at your badge? Enter the SBAR ID Badge Card from Star Resources — your compact communication lifeline.

💡 What is SBAR, and Why is it Important?

SBAR is a communication framework used widely in healthcare to support clear, concise, and focused information exchange, especially in high-pressure situations. Originally developed by the military, it’s now a standard in clinical environments — from hospitals to pre-hospital care.

For students, SBAR is essential because:

• 📚 It reduces nerves and uncertainty when speaking to senior staff
• 📞 It helps you structure a handover or escalation call without forgetting key info
• 🎯 It builds professional confidence by promoting clear clinical thinking

Here's what each part means:

• S – Situation: What's happening right now?
  “Hello, I’m calling about Mr Smith in Bed 2 who’s suddenly short of breath.”
• B – Background: What's relevant history or context?
  “He was admitted with pneumonia yesterday and has been on oxygen since.”
• A – Assessment: What do you think is going on?
  “His SpO2 has dropped to 85% on 6L O2 and his respiratory rate is 30.”
• R – Recommendation: What do you need or suggest?
  “I think he needs a review urgently — could you attend now?”

Using SBAR ensures your message is complete, professional, and actionable, especially when time is critical.
