#FabChanges22to23
Reconnect, Recharge, Rebuild, Renewal
What’s #FabChanges22to23 all about?
When Change Day started in 2012/2013, the concept was based on the simple idea that people doing the job knew best, how better to do the job. The day itself focussed on bringing NHS Staff together to support meaningful and positive change. Through various ideas & iterations Change Day has travelled though; pledges, Change Week, national tours, focussed themes, Apps, copied in Canada & replicated throughout the UK!
This year FabChangeDay is changing to #FabChanges22to23
Why? This year we need to be mindful of the pressures & challenges of the last two years alongside the waiting list pressures & workforce challenges that lie ahead. We also need to recognise that a focus on a single day once a year, doesn’t fit well with QI improvement models or with the seasonal challenges faced by the NHS & Social care.
What’s the difference with #FabChanges22to23? We are going back to the beginning & starting with a pledge - but rather than a focus on one specific day each year, we will have 4 stages & modules of activity supporting change, reflecting the four seasons of the year & allowing time to plan change activity within organisational challenges. Every individual, organisation & department is at a different point in their quality improvement & sharing journey.
The focus for the first module #FabChanges22to23 is on reconnecting and recharging - that’s why this module launches on the 4th July, the week of the NHS’s birthday – there couldn’t be a more appropriate time to reconnect with peers, colleagues & teams, a time to say thank you, a time to recharge your QI focus & pledge how you’re going to make a change in the coming year.
Does this mean I have to spend more time each module to participate? Absolutely not, the way the 4 modules are planned means you have more time to get ideas about what you want to pledge, and then receive support and insights via guided webinars to enable you to complete your pledge and share the outcomes of your work in the spring of 2023
The four modules
2022 June/July/August – pledging & getting inspired Reconnecting & Recharging
2022 Sept/Oct/Nov – networking, learning & starting your pledge Recharging
2022-2023 Dec/Jan/Feb – how’s your change going, how can we help? Rebuilding
2023 March/April/May – sharing you pledge outcomes & learnings to encourage adoption & spread by celebrating the work of you & your organisation. Renewal
Over the 4 modules, our aim is to support you in your planning & offer practical tips,resources & webinars to empower staff making big or small changes which improve outcomes for all.
What could you do for Module 1?
- Organise a reconnecting event– maybe a team meeting, a lunchtime market place to share ideas
- Within your organisation, ask your staff what they would like to pledge to change, search across your wards & departments for the service improvements that are happening now that are making a real difference & share these to recharge your teams
- Take part in the weeks exciting digital activities which will recharge you & give you plenty of ideas for your pledge
You can send us your pledge template, a video or voice memo anytime from June to the end of August.
We will be sharing pledge templates in the near future.
