Brief Summary

During the Multidisciplinary Obstetric and Midwifery Simulation (MOMS) course, groups of delegates manage simulated clinical emergencies, whilst the remaining delegates observe the scenario via a video link. The delegates observing the cardiac arrest scenario will be asked to refer to the proforma and record those details of events that they are able to see/hear from the video link. In addition, the proforma will be provided to the team taking part in the simulation. Delegates (observers plus scribes) will then be asked to complete a questionnaire seeking their opinions on the usefulness of the proforma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Views of the multidisciplinary team members on the utility of the proforma in simulated clinical scenarios of maternal cardiac arrest.

  The primary outcome is the views of multidisciplinary team members on the usefulness of the maternal cardiac arrest proforma. Researchers will not be assessing the completion of the proforma so they will not be collecting these at the end of the simulation. They have chosen to test the proforma during simulated maternal cardiac arrest, as the best practicable surrogate for an actual maternal cardiac arrest.

  Each participant is expected to be in the study for one day.

Study Arms (1)

Staff receiving the MOMS training

Delegates taking part in the routine Multidisciplinary Obstetric and Midwifery Simulation (MOMS) training course at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

Other: Non-Interventional

Interventions

Non-Interventional OTHER

During the cardiac arrest scenario, the delegates observing will be asked to refer to the maternal cardiac arrest proforma and record those details of events that they are able to see/hear from the video link. In addition, the proforma will be provided to the team taking part in the simulation. One or more team members would routinely be given the role of 'scribe', recording events as they occur. The proforma is accompanied by explanatory notes on how to use it. Delegates (observers plus scribes) will then be asked to complete a questionnaire, seeking their opinions on the usefulness of the proforma. Questionnaires will be linked to the written consent forms by a participant ID number.
