Obstetricians and midwives, both those training and those who have completed their training are required to independently interpret cardiotocographs (CTGs) in the crucial lead up to birth.
eFM educates learners using assessment-driven, case-based learning. Interactive learning sessions will test knowledge of CTG interpretation and clinical management, and will provide feedback to the learner regarding their performance. This feedback is based on the collective responses of three experts.
eFM teaches and assesses by mirroring real-life cases and situations. Learners will evaluate, interpret and reflect on a variety of situations presented, with the aim of minimising errors in the labour ward. Learners will be able to see the results of their actions including any life threatening harm to a baby and the subsequent litigation consequences for the doctor or midwife.
Midwives and obstetricians, both those in training and those who have completed their training, will be able to assess themselves regularly and apply their knowledge in the same way they do in real-life situations. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) will add 100 cases every five years in order to reflect the continuing professional development cycle. Evidence of achievement can be used for recertification of healthcare professionals by the RCOG, the RCM and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
