www.changedayab.ca . Change Day is back! Have you heard of it before? - Intro Name Thanks for invite For ChangeDay www.changedayab.ca

Alberta Before we begin, let me ask you- why is change so hard? - engage the audience- or if audience is shy give some ideas to prompt them Why is this culture shift difficult? Especially in healthcare Needing permission Asking managers/bosses Fear Uncomfortable Wanting to make a change- but not sure where to start Could this be happening in your unit or department. Change Day is an opportunity to invite everyone to make a change without asking for permission.

Small actions x by many= big change Imagine… one small action leads to big change Getting in an hour of exercise makes another one want to get in an hour of exercise Some people can look at this campaign and think there is a lack of rigour and longevity. But we believe that many small actions result in BIG change. Not all change initiatives need to look the same.

Quick history about how Change Day came to be -NHS: resident – trying new things Wanted to ask others to try something new that would make things better Try one thing – a pledge that (is not money) to make a personal commitment to change something about your own health or health of others They get hundreds and thousands worth of pledges for change. NHS Change Day started in 2013 and  was the biggest day of collective action for improvement in the history of the NHS – Fact. A countrywide event in England, NHS Change Day was a grassroots initiative devised and driven by a small group of emerging clinicians and improvement leaders (the hubbies).

And this is the 2nd year that AB is taking part. Last year over 6000 pledges were made- ranging from getting more zzzz’s, to spending at least once a week at a patients bedside, to advocating for quality toilet paper for inpatients, to spending a day of meetings in a gown to experience the vulnerability, being side by side with the AHS staff, spending a day in a wheelchair. People loved it because it was easy to understand, simple to take part and made pledges that they were passionate about

We learned a lot from our first ChangeDay.. But that was last year…. (thing of the past) This year we are encouraging people to register as a team, to make pledges and the team with the highest # of pledges will be recognized for their hard work - Because as we are becoming novice at this, doing a single pledge is great, but if you get a group of people and commit to their pledges- it encourage each other and inspire each other to be better and act on the pledges - And we are aiming even higher because we think every Albertan has an idea on what they think they can change to improve their health and/or the healthcare system

inspire excite attract engage \ Change Day to me.. is about inspiring each other, exciting the impossible, attracting others to think outside their comfort zone and engaging people to make their pledge Because one thing. Anything. It begins with you

Imagine the possibilities… your pledge for change inspiring others to pledge to better health and healthcare.. Your pledge answers the what ifs of healthcare What if answers itself
