Sequential sampling and iterative data collection and analysis leading to outcome space development. Thirty-one semi-structured interviews of clerkship conveners responsible for final year assessment practices took place at three diverse universities in Southern settings. University 1: The first round of 12 interviews were analysed as a complete dataset, leading to the development of the first outcome space. University 2: The second round of 6 interviews were analysed together before comparing them to the previous data set, leading to a second outcome space that collated both datasets. University 3: The third round of 13 interviews were analysed as a dataset and subsequently compared to the previously collected datasets. This resulted in a final consolidated outcome space which encompassed all the data collected
