title: Acting the part.
abstract: The implementation of two key policies highlighted the need to support nurses and midwives to challenge colleagues effectively. To overcome the difficulties this presented, an innovative training package using drama provided participants with practical tips and a safe environment to practise newly developed skills. The programme was well evaluated but further work needs to be undertaken to evaluate its impact upon practice.
