What is IFS Wales?

IFS Wales Vision:

“A standardised, all Wales training programme in intrapartum fetal surveillance, aiming to improve outcomes for babies and families”

IFS Wales is a full day of multi professional training in fetal surveillance, centrally coordinated by the national team to support local faculties and maintain standardisation across NHS Wales. This programme not only focuses on fetal physiology but also addresses the common themes identified in UK maternity reports by incorporating the impact of human factors (including situational awareness, teamworking, communication and escalation) in relation to cardiotocograph (CTG) interpretation and intermittent auscultation.
