Finding what you need

Welcome to the Leading Change Toolkit™: To help change agents and change teams make lasting improvements in health care. The Leading Change Toolkit™ is an online, open-access evidence-informed implementation resource. It focuses on the uptake and sustainability of knowledge - or evidence - and uses two complementary frameworks to help you accelerate your success.

The Leading Change Toolkit™ consists of four sections: About this toolkit, The Social Movement Action Framework, The Knowledge-to-Action Framework, and Engaging persons with lived experience.  Let’s look at each one so you can find the content you need.
