We are happy to share our latest SusQI publication.

In this paper we share the perspectives of 11 SusQI course leads from partner organisations on how SusQI can be successfully implemented in diverse health educational contexts. Our aim was to identify what works, in which contexts and why. 

Four interlinked themes were identified: choosing SusQI, getting it into the curriculum, making it work and embedding it. Each of these stages was influenced by factors related to the educators themselves, their students and their institution, as well as specific educational or curricular factors. The most successful implementations demonstrated synergistic benefits for both learners and institutions, engendering self-sustaining communities of practice.

Strong institutional commitment, distributed expertise and opportunities for supported project work emerge as key success factors. 

What do you think about the findings? We look forward to hearing your perspectives! Thanks to all involved who contributed.
