Describe the plan for educating the staff about the change process trial and how they will be impacted or asked to participate.

All the staff directly and indirectly involved in the change process will be educated on the change through a training program that will take place for one week. Staff will be asked to participate by availing themselves for training, recommending alternative changes and to propose measures for intervention. Staff will also be asked to provide feedback which will be used to make improvements in other areas of practice.
