Scottish Emergency Maternity Care Course For Non-Maternity Professionals

Background

The purpose of this course is to support the wider multi-professional group of health-care staff who may be involved in emergency maternity situations arising outside the specialist maternity service environment across Scotland.

The overall aim is to provide these individuals with supplementary knowledge and skills necessary to help them deal appropriately with maternity care emergencies. 

By undertaking this course non-maternity health-care professionals will be able to:

  • Describe the roles, responsibilities and their scope of practice of each of the professional groups in the available team.
  • Demonstrate an appropriate knowledge of related professional, legal and ethical issues,
  • Demonstrate an appropriate knowledge of the normal development of pregnancy.
  • Demonstrate an appropriate knowledge of the processes involved in labour and delivery
  • Demonstrate an appropriate knowledge of risk management including risk assessment.
  • Demonstrate an awareness of the commonest emergencies related to maternity care and the initial management possible in a non-maternity care setting.
  • Communicate refer and transfer appropriately.

The pre-course workbook will provide candidates with all the core learning resources required to complete the first part of the course.  There are numerous activities, scenarios and assessment quizzes that are required to be completed as the pack is worked through.  They are designed to identify local resources, contact, policies and encourage multi-professional working and sharing of knowledge in each respective local area.

 

A workshop day will be organised once the pre-course reading, activities and quiz assessments have been completed.
