Emergency Birth Program – clinical training

Emergency Birth Program – clinical training

This face-to-face workshop is designed to support clinicians who are not maternity-trained or currently practising in maternity care. It prepares participants to manage unplanned births and provide immediate postnatal care for women and their newborns.

The workshop also supports clinicians in recognising when referral and transfer to a higher capability maternity service is needed.

Interactive and simulation-based, the workshop includes a range of relevant clinical skills stations. Our experienced team will work with you to tailor the agenda to suit your service’s needs.
