Change Day is a global movement that was started in 2013 by the National Health Service (NHS) in England, which invites any person involved in health or social care to make a pledge and change one small thing to improve care. Pledges can encompass anything, from the small (learning each patient’s name) to the large (connecting 250 members of an organization in a randomized coffee trial).

The message behind Change Day is that any individual can make an impact, and that small efforts add up to huge impacts on quality of care. Countries all over the world have since launched their own Change Days, spreading the energy and excitement to improve care globally.
