These lesson plans and slides were developed by members of the SHE Network in 2010 to support teaching of the Sustainable Healthcare Education learning objectives. Elements of the package were then tested in a range of medical school settings in academic year 2010-11.
NB: In 2013, the SHE Network published updated priority learning outcomes for sustainability in medical education.
