Paper: Implementing culture change in healthcare; theory & practice

This excellent paper on implementing culture change in healthcare; theory and practice was published 10 years ago. It's still relevant and there is no need to start another cohort of research on the theory now that "culture" is a big theme for the NHS.

Readers of this blog will know my aversity to the continuous stream of repetitive research - with insufficient action to put it into practice.  Culture is a difficult topic. The word defies easy definition  yet it's bandied around as both a devil and panacea - a cause of and a solution to the problems facing the NHS.

This paper is available free of charge and is worthy of a read and discussion with your colleagues.
