Virtual pre-hospital obstetric training session

We are hosting a Teams training session for frontline clinicians, of all grades, to discuss the full range of maternity jobs and any concerns you may have.

The event will be held between 10am-1pm on the 6^th May 2021. 

This will be led by Kerrie Wykes, Registered Midwife/Student Paramedic and Daimon Wheddon, Clinical Lead for Maternity.

 We will be discussing a variety of topics such as:

• Changing maternal physiology and the effects on patient assessment.
• Pregnancy concerns such as, miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and antepartum haemorrhage.
• Assessment and management of a normal labour and birth.
• Obstetric emergencies such as shoulder dystocia, cord prolapse, breech birth and postpartum haemorrhage
• A brief overview of neonatal physiology and why it matters in neonatal resuscitation.

 If you would like to attend, please email Kerrie.wykes@eastamb.nhs.uk to be added to the meeting.

Time will be allocated afterwards for any further questions.

We look forward to seeing you all virtually on Teams!
