Undergraduate PROMPT
We speak to Dr Melanie Griffin, University of Bristol, and Jemma Walker, University of the West of England about their experience of delivering Undergraduate PROMPT. Both are experienced educators and offer a lot of advice and hints about their practical experience of Undergraduate PROMPT training and how this package has grown for them since 2019.
Undergraduate PROMPT is specifically designed for maternity students (student midwives and medical students). However, the themes covered in this package could easily be adapted for other medical emergency situations; the skills and teamworking required to manage each scenario are likely to be transferable to other specialties.

This episode we bring you a longer interview on Equity and Equality in the context of maternity care.
MBRRACE-UK released figures in 2022 that Black women are 3.7 times more likely to die in pregnancy while and Asian women are 1.8 times more likely to die, both when compared to White women.
https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/reports
More recently, in 2023 MBRRACE-UK released two publications, one comparing the care of Asian and White women who have experienced a still birth or neonatal death and the other comparing Black and White women who have experienced a stillbirth or neonatal death. These reports highlight issues including ethnicity, nationality and citizenship not always being recorded well. Interpreters not always being available, lower rates of screening for gestational diabetes, difficulties accessing care and women being less likely to receive a letter about follow-up.
https://timms.le.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk-perinatal-mortality/confidential-enquiries/
We speak to Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi and Aisha Thomas about their involvement in Black Maternity Matters from Health Innovations West of England.
“Black Maternity Matters is a ground-breaking collaboration, supporting midwives to reduce the inequitable maternity outcomes faced by Black mothers and their babies. It will support maternity systems to offer safer, equitable care for all.”
https://www.healthinnowest.net/our-work/transforming-services-and-systems/black-maternity-matters/
Equity and Equality is covered in the PROMPT Annual Update 2022/23 in our Supplementary Reading Booklet and PowerPoint presentation, including a narrated version with ideas for local adaptation.

Limbs & Things Ltd
PMF and L&T have been working together informally for many years to develop simulation models and training tools to improve care for women and babies during obstetric emergencies. PMF recommends the use of the PROMPT Flex manikin for shoulder dystocia training that has been associated with important reductions in birth injuries in the UK and internationally. More recently, PMF and L&T have co-developed new tools for training in the management of impacted fetal head at caesarean births.

Civility is an incredibly important topic in healthcare, but especially in Maternity due to the high-pressure situations that we all work in. We speak to Ganga Verma and Sarah Quinn.

iPROMPT
We hear from Cathy Winter and Tim Draycott, lead midwife and obstetrician for PROMPT, about iPROMPT, or the PROMPT Implementation package. Developed to ensure more sustainable and local training for trainer’s iPROMPT was released in early 2023 to replace the previous train-the-trainers model.

Impacted fetal head
Speaking to Katie Cornthwaite, academic clinical lecturer and senior obstetric registrar, after completing her PhD in impacted fetal head we could have spoken for hours. Instead, we only had six minutes to cover some impact aspects of this important obstetric emergency that is gaining increasing interest in research and training.
Impacted fetal head was in the 2021 PROMPT Annual Update.

High spinal
We chat to Neil Muchatuta, lead anaesthetist for PROMPT, about high spinal. High spinal is part of the anaesthetic emergency series in the Annual Update 2022/23 package. High spinal can often feel daunting for the maternity multi-professional team so we wanted to learn more about this topic and how to make high spinal part of your local training day.

Not so local to us in the UK but a brilliant local unit who were early adapters of PROMPT training, we speak to Zarah Sadiq, a clinical resource midwife at the Corniche Hospital in Abu Dhabi. She talks to us about successes they have had as a unit with PROMPT training, challenges they experience and how they have made PROMPT work for them.
