Track changes: notes for change that works

If the NHS was on Desert Island Discs, our bet is that songs about ‘change’ would feature heavily.

You can hear it now, as Sam Cooke tells us it’s gonna come, Dylan tells us it’s happening while Bowie and Swift invite us to face it without fear. And let’s be honest, there might be a bit of Marvin Gaye in there, asking: “What’s going on?”

Change is inevitable for all who work in health and care. What isn’t inevitable is change that works.

Our wide experience tells us that people are not fundamentally opposed to change, but they are exhausted by so much change that doesn’t work.

This interactive session brings together theory and practice on how change can work amid the complexity and uncertainty that is health and care.

What sounds great…but only leads to a dead end? What can appear boring… but holds within it the secret to successful change?

Who’s speaking?

Our speakers will be:

• Thea Stein, CEO of the Nuffield Trust
• Katie Goulding, part of Kaleidoscope Health and Care (OD and leadership practitioner)
• Shane Carmichael, part of Kaleidoscope Health and Care, and lecturer in healthcare leadership, UCL.

Who’s the event for?

This event is ideal for people delivering change in the NHS, local authorities, and public services more generally. This might mean you have a role in improvement, transformation and change for:

• an ICS, ICB or NHS trust
• a national NHS body or government
• a community provider of health and care services
• local government, or wider public services
• a charity or social enterprise.

What will you get out of it?

This webinar will give you an opportunity to make sense of the changes happening around us right now, along with:

• practical tips on how to realise change that works
• increased understanding of why some change programmes work, and others struggle
• insight from the latest evidence relating to change in healthcare
• connections to and insights from others in health and care wrestling with similar change challenges.
