GPs and Midwives working in remote settings, update your skills and knowledge at this two & a half-day training course based on current best practice in antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care.

This CRANAplus two and a half- day course is designed to meet the needs of the maternity health workforce (midwives & medical officers). The course includes pre-course learning and activities comprising approximately seven hours, that must be completed one week before the course.

There will be two practical scenarios as well as lectures, skill stations and an on-course multiple choice quiz.

Please note, if you are not a mid­wife or a GP with rel­e­vant obstet­ric expe­ri­ence you are not eli­gi­ble for this course – please con­sid­er the Mater­ni­ty Emer­gency Care course as this may be more rel­e­vant for you.
