The Sustainable Healthcare Education (SHE) network is a fast-growing group of clinicians, academics and students who have been developing teaching materials linked to Tomorrow’s Doctors outcomes. In academic year 2010-11, these materials and approaches were tested in a range of medical school settings and evaluated collectively to produce data beyond a series of school-based case studies.
