More than 1,500 people have got involved in the NHS Change challenge campaign so far. Launched last month by HSJ, together with its sister title Nursing Times and NHS Improving Quality, the aim is to identify the best ways to help the NHS achieve real and sustainable change.
Using a crowdsourcing platform created by Clever Together we asked what are the barriers to creating bottom-up change within and between NHS organisations.
Over the past three weeks, contributors were able to submit their suggestions, comment on others or vote them up or down. More than 7,000 contributions have been made.
For the second phase of this campaign we are asking people to explore further how the NHS delivers change and come up with solutions to the barriers to change as identified by contributors.
To enable as many people to take part in this we are using the social media tool Thunderclap to flood Twitter and Facebook with this important message.
Thunderclap allows a single message to be mass-shared, on the same day, and at the same exact-time, so it rises above the noise of your social networks. Think of it as a flash mob on Twitter and Facebook and we really need your help to make this happen.
To take part simply donate a tweet, Facebook status or Tumblr update to spread this message to as many people as possible and encourage them to submit their suggestions on solutions.
Go to http://thndr.it/1CsCD7o before 11 February 2015 and choose to support with Facebook or with Twitter.
Your tweet or status will then go live on 11 February 2015 at 10am, along with hundreds of your colleagues and friends.
