FAQs

What does a PROMPT Wales training day consist of?

PROMPT Wales is a full day training course, attended and facilitated by a multi-professional maternity team. The emphasis is on team working and communication, so delegates are allocated to multi-professional teams to take part in simulated obstetric emergencies in the clinical areas. Some examples would be managing an undiagnosed breech birth in a midwife-led unit or attending to a cardiac arrest in a pregnant woman. Community midwifery teams also attend A Community PROMPT Wales training where they train alongside paramedics and practice managing emergencies in a community setting.

What is the overall objective of the PROMPT Wales programme?

PROMPT Wales training focuses on effective management of emergency situations which may arise in pregnancy and childbirth. It emphasises the importance of teamwork and effective communication and gives teams the opportunity to practice rare emergencies in a simulated environment. As demonstrated in Southmead Hospital in Bristol and other maternity units in the UK and abroad, we expect to see improvements in safer outcomes for mothers and babies in Wales.

How will we know that PROMPT Wales training is effective?

Having collected retrospective data from maternity units around Wales, PROMPT Wales will make comparisons after agreed periods of time to establish whether improvements in clinical outcomes are evident. We are also interested in staff perception around team working and safety and have measured this using a Safety Attitude Questionnaire. Results from pre and post implementation demonstrated improvement in all six domains: Teamwork Safety Climate Perception of management Job satisfaction Working conditions and stress recognition. We are also keen to understand women’s perceptions of the care received during emergencies with regards to safety and communication and intend to gather information which will help to inform our training.
