Core Skills – Maternity and Neonates
This is a one-day hands-on course which focuses on the knowledge and skills required to assess and treat pre-hospital obstetric and neo-natal resuscitation emergencies.
We will support you by providing access to pre-course reading materials in advance of your face to face teaching session to provide you with all the knowledge you need to attend.
The learning objectives for the day are:
- Define their role in the assessment and treatment of patients experiencing prehospital obstetric and/or neo-natal resuscitation emergencies
- Identify obstetric and neo-natal emergencies in the prehospital setting
- Discuss the assessment and treatment options available in the pre-hospital environment
- Demonstrate the assessments and possible treatments options for obstetric and/or neonatal resuscitation emergencies events in the prehospital environment
- Outline the gold standard for treatment of the obstetric or neonatal resuscitation emergencies in the pre-hospital environment
What the day looks like:
A one-day skills-based experiential learning module with the aim of focusing on the knowledge and skills required to assess and treat a patient involved in an obstetric and/or neo-natal resuscitation emergency in the pre-hospital environment.
The Session begins with a facilitated discussion around the learning needs of the group and any challenges they have faced in practice, the sessions then move to skill stations to watch a demonstration of the skills after which they will practice the skills to enhance their competence. This learning is then reinforced in simulations which enables the learners to practice the patient assessment and decide upon and carry out the appropriate treatment strategies.
The remainder of the learning focuses on the structured debrief of the simulations and lessons learned from these sessions.
