This section gathers in one place key references and resources as a repository of current best practice in change. Signposting people to where they can access additional help and make connections. The ethos behind the Change Guide is to support collaborative practices and connect those working in health care with content from experts on key topics relating to change and service improvement.
Creating connectivity and linkages within the organisation is a priority. Gathering examples of best practice and showcasing those as part of knowledge sharing within the health service works towards creating Safer Better Healthcare and Staff and Public Value.
