EN6: Values in Action, Shaping the culture in a health service using a social movement

Thursday 28 March
08:15-08:45

We have made two big decisions in the health service in Ireland; the first was to translate our values into behaviours that everyone could adopt and the second was to start a social movement to ensure these behaviours become a way of life for us all and a visible part of our every day actions in the health service. Values in Action is a behaviour based culture development programme that aims to make the health service a better place to be.

After this session, participants will be able to:

1. Know what a social movement in health care is and isn’t
2. Understand the efficacy of peer to peer approaches in large scale mobilisation of people to effect large system transformation
3. See the how behaviours can shape the culture at scale in a large complex organisation
