The labour ward is an area within any hospital where at any time there may be women experiencing normal childbirth, not to mention fewer in number, fortunately, who may be suffering complications of pregnancy.
It is also an area where successful multi-discliplinary working is vital for patient safety. The Advanced Labour Ward Practice ATSM is designed to provide more indepth training in intrapartum care.
This intensive 2 day course will provide theoretical and practical training in Management of the Labour ward which will enable participants to:
- Update and advance knowledge regarding management of the labour ward
- Hear presentations on neonatology, anaesthetics, obstetric medicine and complex obstetric interventions
The programme includes a variety of authoritative speakers with ample time for discussion, debate and networking throughout the course of the meeting.
Cost: £250 per trainee for both days attendance.
This course meets the theoretical requirements of the RCOG ATSM in Advanced Labour Ward Practice, however, for completeness we recommend some E-learning topics be completed in addition to attendance on the course, there are excellent resources available in StratOG which can now be accessed free of charge via the RCOG website. The module you should read is 'The Management of Labour and Delivery' which s one of the core training modules. The whole module is of interest but of particular relevant to the ATSM and not specifically covered in the course are:
- Tutorial: IUFD Section: Consent for Post Mortem (including viewing the video)
