There are multiple ways in which huddles can be useful for community pharmacy teams, including that they:

• Are a quick and direct way to share information
• Can offer everyone in a team the opportunity to contribute to the identification of issues and solutions, improving team communication and promoting a patient safety culture
• Can increase team member situational awareness in terms of understanding what is happening in the workplace and its impact on patient safety
• Can help to keep patients at the centre of the safety agenda
• Can promote a change in safety culture from reactive to proactive
• Can contribute to the peer discussion element of revalidation.
