Scottish Routine Examination of the Newborn Course

Background

The Scottish Routine Examination of the Newborn Course has been developed as part of the Scottish Multiprofessional Maternity Development Programme - an evolving programme of courses designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals involved in the delivery of maternity care. The purpose is to provide a standardised training course for all healthcare professionals in the routine examination of the newborn. The course is developed from the Best Practice Statement produced by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (2008) available from Health Improvement Scotland

The course consists of 3 parts.

Part I Pre-course handbook, examination of the newborn Best Practice Statement and a formative multiple choice question (MCQ) examination.

Part II
Three-day taught course that is assessed summatively by MCQ examination. This must be completed successfully before progressing to the final part of the course.

Part III
Clinical component: candidates undertake supervised practice in the routine examination of the newborn. Candidates will normally be expected to complete this part of the course within 6 months of completion of Part II.

The taught part of the course is composed of lectures, skill stations, workshops and discussions.

Even though the course includes both a theoretical test of knowledge and assessment of examination skills, it does not guarantee ongoing competence in the routine examination of the newborn.  This can only be assessed by senior staff in the clinical environments in which candidates work.

This course is suitable for any maternity care professional who is involved with the care of women and their babies at and following delivery.
