WHAT IS CHANGE DAY?
NHS Change Day – collective
action to demonstrate how small changes can have a big impact
On the 13 March 2013 NHS
Change Day will bring together the individual creativity, energy and innovative
thinking of thousands of NHS staff from across clinical and non-clinical areas
of work, in a single day of collective action to improve care for patients,
their families and their carers. The
idea is to make a small change and make it every day practice.
Change Day is an NHS grassroots initiative devised and driven by emergent clinical and managerial leaders and improvement leaders, who want to make this call to action the single largest simultaneous improvement event in the NHS.

It is about galvanising
and engaging the frontline in improvement, through individuals and teams
pledging to make a change in their practice which will improve patient
experience, clinical outcomes or spreading and adopting best practice and
championing innovation. This will be a countrywide event and will coincide with
Healthcare Innovation Expo at Excel in the same day.
The idea of NHS Change Day is create a mass movement of people working
in the NHS demonstrating the difference they can make - by one simple act – and
proving that we can make a big impact is possible when we work together in the
NHS. Our initial aim was for 65,000 people to take part, 65 being the number of
years the NHS has been in existence. To date we have over 90,000 supported
pledges.
