- 13. IACAPAP Textbook The main thing is that it facilitates access. In many countries, if child psychiatrists dont have access to open resources like our textbook they dont have access to any resources at all. Its not merely a case of saving money. Its having nothing, or having something.

- 15. VCPH Innovation Multilingual: Spanish, Portuguese & English Localised for culture and language Open policies
- 16. VCPH We use open practices to promote equity in health, to combat disease and improve the quality of lives of people of the Americas. While openness is not all- pervasive in public- health institutions in Central and Southern America VCPH hopes to change the culture.

- 18. Physiopedia Innovation Health profession capitalising on Web 2.0 Professional wiki Open badging Big impact/very small team
- 19. Physiopedia A lot of people who use our content dont otherwise have any access to this kind of information - theyre in low-income countriesBeing open enables these people to use up-to-date resources and achieve impact on clinical practice
- 20. Implications Existing conception of open educational practices is too embedded in universities and individual students These projects: OEP = vocational learning & institutional collaboration Need for new frameworks to capture this, plus impact and localisation. Is this unique to health?

Editor's Notes
- #2: Who we are academics with UKOU. For some years weve been researching OER and OEP outside academia, partly in connection with our development of the public open scholar role. Im OERRH fellow, specialising in OER in developing countries. Tonys specialism is health & social care. Developed and runs cyp-media.org site curating digital open resources for the children and young peoples workforce sector. This presentation reports our research on three international health projects engaged in innovative open practices.
- #3: The impetus for this research is a real and pressing global problem.
- #8: B We analysed the projects against two frameworks OPAL OEP maturity matrix which covers. However this wasnt sufficiently comprehensive to cover the practices in the three global health projects. We appended it with Vrieling et als OEP social configuration framework which looks at: Practice: The impact on occupational activity. Domain: The shared area in which group members work together. Collective identity: The mutual engagement that binds the members together as a social entity, Organization: The interactional repertoire of a group of people, the geographical scope of its activities, the power relations involved, and the level of self-organisation.
