The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) has been widely implemented in surgical settings across the globe. This qualitative study examined surgical team member experience regarding modifications to the SSC in hospitals in high-income countries. Respondents supported routine review of SSCs to ensure they are modified and updated to address local issues and standards of practice and noted that the modification process can improve team cohesion and SSC buy-in.
