This full-day program provides participants with the theoretical understanding and skills required to manage common non haemorrhage-related obstetric emergencies, including:

•fetal bradycardia
•cord prolapse
•shoulder dystocia
•unexpected vaginal breech birth
•severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia


Participants will work through small group activities, case discussions and practical skills stations, and have the opportunity to apply their new knowledge and skills in a supportive, simulated environment.

This program is held in a realistic clinical environment in our world-class medical simulation facility, and facilitated by our interprofessional educational and simulation experts.

Examine all trimesters of pregnancy with a systematic approach to scanning. Develop and master transabdominal and transvaginal techniques to acquire, interpret, document and apply ultrasound to clinical management and improve patient care. Identify pathology, multiple pregnancy and pregnancy of unknown location. Locate correct planar anatomy & measure fetal biometry, AFI and Dopplers. Consolidate your skills with our mastery approach to learning, with hands-on practical scanning on real patients.

The ACTA International Clinical Trials Conference 2019 will be a coming together of a broad range of Australian and international experts in the cutting edge design and conduct of clinical trials, clinical data and registry custodianship, healthcare funding, policy and regulation, healthcare service delivery, health information technology, health economics, and patient advocacy.

The underlying theme of the ACTA International Clinical Trials Conference 2019 is Better health through best evidence and will provide a platform to bring together national and international stakeholders to discuss global advances in the development of self-improving healthcare systems. The program will address embedding clinical trials in clinical care, novel trial designs and conduct, maximising the value of clinical registries and improving public awareness and consumer involvement in clinical research.
