Introduction <p>Developing the core competencies of health professions educators has resulted in various professional standards and capability frameworks. On review, we found that none of the models met the requirements of multidisciplinary health professions educators. We developed a set of Multidisciplinary Professional Standards for Health Professions Educators.</p> Aim <p>To evaluate the usability of the Multidisciplinary Professional Standards for Health Professions Educators to inform improvements in its design, and support implementation.</p> Methods <p>We held six focus groups consisting of clinician educators and education managers to conduct a qualitative study of the usability of the professional standards. Data were thematically analysed using Guba and Lincoln’s constructivist evaluation framework.</p> Results <p>The HPE professional standards provide recognition for the role of educators in healthcare settings, and guidance for managers and educators. They introduce shared expectations and standards across all health disciplines and clarify role expectations and performance. The results helped with the refinement of the document to make it more user friendly. It forefronted that much work is needed at a strategic, systemic and professional level to positively integrate and promote the professional standards for optimum usability and adoption.</p> Conclusions <p>Developing a set of Professional Standards for Multidisciplinary Health Profession Educators is a welcome step on a long road within a health service hungry for direction, support, identity and recognition for educators. However, overcoming significant challenges for implementation were acknowledged as being key to its success.</p>
