The team, including Greg's family (dad sister), will share the film, what they have learned from more than 600 audiences, and their plans for enabling others to use the film.
Audience: Anyone who is interested in using story to spark change. People who are committed to teamwork, continuity of information, learning from failure, and/or change in health care. Faculty, leaders, educators who facilitate or host sessions on change and improvement in health care.
Approach: Greg's Wings Projects is a not-for-profit organization established in honour of Greg Price. The first major project for our organization was the production of a short film called Falling Through the Cracks: Greg Story (https://gregswings.ca/fttc-gregsstory). In the six years since the completion of the film, we have shown the film to 600 audiences. Every screening is followed by a post-film discussion which enables audiences to share reactions, ask questions, share stories and experiences, and spread ideas. These valuable and important conversations have enabled us to gain knowledge and build a network of inspiring people who want to see change in health care. Agenda for the session: 0min – Introductions 30min - Screening of Falling Through the Cracks: Greg's Story film (https://gregswings.ca/fttc-trailer) 20min - Debrief and QandA with Greg's family 5min - Themes and what we have learned through the use of the film and the impact the film has had. 0min - How you can access, use, and share the film.
