The Scottish Approach to Change supports the health and care system to do change well. NHS renewal involves a lot of change. To be successful, it needs to use a clear approach. This is what the Scottish Approach to Change provides.
It brings together different change methods into a single approach and translates theory into a practical tool. Importantly, it uses simple accessible language. This helps people achieve high quality change.
The Scottish Approach to Change brings together different evidence-based methods and tools for managing quality and change. It can be used as:
• a framework for managing quality and change at an organisational level
• a practical approach to delivering discreet change projects at any level
