Description
Overview
This course has been designed for trainees and trainers who are not able to attend a local course or who are coming from outside the UK to participate in training. This is also an opportunity for new faculty who want to run the course locally as part of the RCOG franchised course programme.
The aim of ROBuST is to provide instruction and hands-on practice in all methods of operative vaginal birth (both non-rotational and rotational) to facilitate the achievement of the OSATS competencies on the RCOG Training matrix. Techniques for performing a Caesarean Section at full dilatation are also covered. The course consists of short lectures, hands-on workshops and small group discussions on teamwork and communication.
The cost of the course is inclusive of the ROBuST course manual (and Trainer’s manual for new trainers).
Spaces on this course is strictly limited to 16 places for Trainees and 6 for Trainers.
