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, the Scottish Approach to Change uses simple accessible language. This means everyone can achieve high quality change.
Following this approach to change will help services become:
- high quality
- effective
- safe
- person-centred
The Scottish Approach to Change explains why we need each part of the process to achieve high quality change. It also shows how to achieve it.
Our video explains more about the approach.
This approach is not creating a new method. It will not replace any existing change methodologies, either. It recognises and values existing disciplines like:
- quality improvement
- service design
- strategic planning
- engagement
It will show how they can be used together to deliver high quality change. This is what makes the Scottish Approach to Change unique.
We want to make this approach accessible to everyone leading change. This will create a practical approach and shared language around this work.
