Full Description
The PROMPT (Practical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) Course covers a range of obstetric emergency situations. There is increasing evidence that PROMPT training is having significant impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes, delivering immense benefits for healthcare providers at all levels. The PROMPT training package consists of interactive lectures, drills and workshops, providing hands-on experience of practical skills and team working in simulated obstetric emergencies. This second edition of the Australia and New Zealand PROMPT Course Manual has been fully updated in line with recent evidence and national and international guidance. There are new modules, algorithms and implementation tools. The Course Manual is essential reading for all those attending a local multi-professional PROMPT Course. It is also useful as a stand-alone textbook for obstetricians, anaesthetists and midwives, providing evidence-based, up-to-date information for any health professional involved in maternity care.
